Challenge Coins
Conroe Reunion
3/26/08
 Challenge Coins
Challenge Coins are in and can be purchased at the Conroe Reunion for $10 each. The proceeds benefit the Surviving Spouses Luncheon. So, bring your cash and stock up.
History of Challenge Coins: Challenge Coins surfaced during the WWII era. The practice of carrying a coin designed specifically for a unit was popular with the Army Special Forces. Carrying the coin at all times and presenting it when "challenged" to prove affiliation with that unit resulted in a number of consequences for those who could not produce a coin - the most popular required the coin less soldier to buy a round of drinks. That practice continues to be popular today.
