“Arthur has gone above and beyond to accommodate my coin order. He has great communication throughout the process, and clearly has deep expertise in his craft. Really impressed by his shop, and how he works. The coin itself was exactly what I had envisaged, and he threw in an extra one for me so I could have options. It's kind of hard to find that kind of customer care these days. Best of luck to you Arthur and I hope your business keeps thriving!”

“Strike Your Coin was a fantastic help to the Terry Fox Secondary after-grad committee in creating a special momento for the Grad Class of 2020 during the disappointing cancellation of all of the usual grad celebrations due to Covid 19. Arthur designed a fantastic coin using the input we had given him and went above and beyond to ensure they were manufactured and delivered in time for the schools alternate drive thru commencement. Not a simple task considering the short turn-around time! The coins are stunning and will be a meaningful keepsake that the grads will have for years to come. Thank you Arthur for your hard work and contribution to what will turn our to be a very memorable grad after all!”

Over the years, many military traditions have originated and evolved to show one's camaraderie, the most notable being a simple coin! A coin with symbols that reflect a person's service and loyalty to a widespread organization. Such coins are called challenge coins, and they’ve traveled far beyond the reach of the military to the loyalty of regular civilians.
Challenge coins tend to be quite small. Their diameter varies from 3.8 centimeters to 5 centimeters, and the thickness is about 1/4 of a centimeter. Though most of the coins are circular, some come in all sorts of shapes — pentagons, dog tags, shields, and even arrowheads. Their composition generally includes copper, pewter, and nickel, but many other finishes are often used. Some designs can be simple — just a small emblem or symbol, — but others can have intricate cut-outs, complex designs, and even 3D parts.
Though the military still feels ecstatic about the idea of using simple coins as a gesture of allegiance, challenge coins have outgrown the military. Today, these coins have escaped the firm grasp of military forces and leaked into the hands of civilians. Not only that, but many administrators and authority figures exchange their challenge coins as business cards! It’s more than fascinating how such a simple concept of a coin evolved into a truly meaningful and widespread emblem of tradition and honor.
