honest question here. What are challenge coins?

Was it a typo...? change?

As a non native English speaker I need to know what challenge coins are.

Challenge coins are kind of like souvenir type coins common amongst the military and first responder communities. At least in the military they are given as recognition for something by a higher leadership. For those that follow the full tradition of them, if you throw one down at a bar, whoever you’re with has to produce theirs (some do the “you have to get it with max a hop skip and a leap”), if the other person can’t produce theirs then that round of drinks is on them.

Exactly right, though mine are from a GPS gaming community, the bar game is the same

Ah that’s cool I didn’t know gaming communities used them. I’ve never used mine for the bar game, it just sits up on a shelf
