Legend has it that the challenge coin originated in the U.S. Army in World War I. A wealthy lieutenant had coins struck for the men in his unit. When an Air Service pilot was shot down behind enemy lines, he escaped, but had no identification. Captured by the French, he was able to produce the coin his friend had given him. That showed he was an ally, and preventing the French from executing him as an enemy spy. This story has never been proved, but it makes for a great legend. What is real is that custom coins, challenge coins and custom military coins make a great way to show membership in a group and build team camaraderie. |

Hello everybody.
Here I am, far away from home working hard. I would like to share a few words with you using my Ad$mart page. I’m so happy I have had the opportunity of finding OOxAA. Yes, I’m away from home now serving our Country the best way I can, but also because of this business, I have the ability to build financial security without actually being at home.
OOxAA is a great business and a fantastic opportunity. It’s working so amazingly well for me and it can for all of you. Just plug into it. I want you to know than while I’m here, having little time to work on my business, the opportunity continues to grow for me every day. It is so exiting having a backup plan which is actually working for me even though I’m not there to help. It’s hard to believe, but it’s true.
Do not give up on your own dreams, with this business you can make it happen. It’s already happening for me and it will for you. All you have to do is to believe in yourself, get involve, and put all excuses away… Just DO IT!!! It’s worth every second of your time, trust me.
So long my OOxAA friends and Partners for now. I’ll be updating you about my life in a fast lane here, so check my Ad$mart often and I’ll see you all when I’ll get back.
Mark, your friend and business partner
A challenge coin is a small coin or medallion (usually military), bearing an organization’s insignia or emblem and carried by the organization’s members. Traditionally, they are given to prove membership when challenged and to enhance morale. In addition, they are also collected by service members. In practice, challenge coins are normally presented by unit commanders in recognition of special achievement by a member of the unit. They are also exchanged in recognition of visits to an organization

MILITARY COINS CHALLENGE RULES:
A. The challenge is initiated by drawing your coin, holding it in the air by whatever means possible and state, scream, shout or otherwise verbally acknowledge that you are initiating a coin check. Another, but less vocal method is to firmly place it on the bar, table, or floor (this should produce an audible noise which can be easily heard by those being challenged, but try not to leave a permanent imprint). If you accidentally drop your coin and it makes an audible sound upon impact, then you have just “accidentally” initiated a coin check. (This is called paying the price for improper care of your coin.)
B. The response consists of all those persons being challenged drawing their coin in a like manner.
C. If you are challenged and are unable to properly respond, you must buy a round of drinks for the challenger and the group being challenged.
D. If everyone being challenged responds in the correct manner, the challenger must buy a round of drinks for all those people they challenged.
E. Failure to buy a round is a despicable crime and will require that you turn-in your Coin to the issuing agency.
- 1. WHEN – WHERE: A. Coin checks are permitted, ANY TIME, ANY PLACE.
- 2. EXCEPTIONS: A. There are no exceptions to the rules. They apply to those clothed or unclothed. At the time of the challenge you are permitted one step and an arms reach to locate your coin. If you still cannot reach it — SORRY ABOUT THAT!
- 3. A COIN IS A COIN
