I was cleaning off my desk at work and I thought I'd scan the coins I've gotten over the years for doing good deeds. Hah. The two that mean the most are the two bottom ones. I have 3 of the JWAC coins and the EOD coin was given to me by the CO and Master Chief of the school before they relocated to Florida.

Military Challenge Coins are an unofficial element of military culture. Hitherto the true origins of these coins is shrouded in legends...
During World War I, an American fighter pilot was shot down over "no-mans land. He used a coin with the insignia of his squadron to identify himself to French soldiers intent on shooting him as a suspected saboteur. Thereafter members of his squadron carried their coins at all times. Thus, a ritual challenge began to ensure compliance. If anyone struck their coin on a hard surface, such as a bar, all others in attendance had to respond in kind. Anyone not having their coin had to buy a round of drinks. If everyone had their coin the challenger bought the round.
During W.W.II, in the Philippine Islands, a force composed of Philippine, American, British, Australian, and others used the classic guerilla tactic of striking hard and disappearing in the jungle before Japanese forces could react. In order to make contact between unknown guerilla bands, they adopted the expedient method of filing a large one-peso coin flat on one side and stamping it with their unit emblem. This allowed them to carry a means of identification that would be overlooked if they were searched.
In Vietnam, members of elite army units always carried one round of ammunition with them just in case. As sometimes happens with traditions this one got a little out of hand. Instead of carrying a rifle or pistol cartridge in their pocket when they visited a hootch (bar) some wise guy carried a larger .50 caliber machine gun round. It wasn't long before 20 mm, 40 mm, and even 105 mm cannon shells were carried to these gatherings. Common sense prevailed and challenge coins replaced live ordinance.
Today, challenge coins are a symbol of pride that military members carry, not for personal identification, but to identify themselves as part of a team. Soldiers and airmen from numerous countries have taken up the challenge. One of the ways to make new friends when deployed to distant lands is to trade coins. People strive for the most unusual coins and carrying the coins of another unit or nation is acceptable as long as they can show their connection with that organization.

The U.S. Army Special Forces have a longstanding list of traditions
dating back over their thirty-one-year history, from the wearing of the
green beret. endorsed by President John F. Kennedy in 1961, to annual
historic celebrations in which they take part. There are celebrations
such as Menton Day, commemorating the joint U.S.-Canadian First
Special Service Force of World War Two. The Special Forces also pay
their respects to late President Kennedy by laying a wreath and green
beret on his tomb every November twenty-second, the date of his
assassination. One of the lesser-known traditions of the Special Forces
is the Group coin.
Among elite units. the tradition is prevalent to carry some type of device
which readily identifies unit members. past and present, and also
provides the opportunity for an inspection of the unit's esprit de corps
and purpose.
The Group coin, minted In a number of metals, including sterling, is
approximately two Inches in diameter. The coin carries the mottos or
slogans of the particular Group manufacturing it. In addition to any
official motto is usually a likeness of the group flash, SF crest, and the
beret.
Nearly every Special Forces unit has minted its own version of the
Group coin; however, the 10th Special Forces Group can be credited
with fostering the tradition for a Group coin. In July 1969, Colonel
Vernon E. Green, Group commander, designed and had manufactured
the 10th Group coin. On the obverse, or front, is the inscription: "10th
Special Forces Group (Airborne) 1st Special Forces." In the center of
the coin is the Trojan Horse crest, the original SF crest worn during the
1950s, and below, the words "Trojan Horse." The reverse side is
inscribed with the Special Forces motto "De Oppresso Liber" and "The
Best." A beret with flash is centered over a scroll for engraving the
owner's name or job specialty, e.g., team sergeant, or light weapons
leader. Nearly all Group coins have a scroll or such place for engraving.
Once the 10th Group coin was minted, the tradition began, calling for
each Group member, past and present, to procure and carry a coin at
all times. In addition to active or former Group personnel owning coins,
they have been presented to friends and foreign Special Forces soldiers
at the close of joint country training, as momentos.
The actual history of the challenge initiated by one SFer to another by
demanding to see his Group coin varies greatly. According to legend,
the original coin check was done only by the senior man present
(usually the team sergeant), who did it for the sole purpose of ensuring
each man's team spirit (in which case, all would be carrying a coin).
The purpose of this drill was to check morale.
Nowadays this is done primarily a dare, by extracting the coin and
slamming it down onto the tabletop or tossing it to the floor. The loud
"ping!" produced by the boundinig coin is a challenge all SF types
present to produce their coins, or end up buying a round of drinks. This
method of the "coin check" is the most prevalent today.
There have been many attempts by the active SF groups to established
a set of rules for the coin challenge to ensure uniformity. Regardless of
any "coin regulation," most SF prefer to carry their coins, not only to
show their pride with Special Forces, but also to save money on drinks
they may have to buy if caught without it.
or
It goes without saying that the United States military is one of the most unique and diverse organizations in the world today. Adding to its uniqueness are the countless customs, courtesies, and time-honored traditions that military members observe. One such tradition that has gained in popularity over the years is the coveted unit coin.
Unlike the distinct history of our military, the history of the unit coin varies depending on where you get your information from. Some claim that the unit coin came to be during World War I. Others say its existence started during the Korean and Vietnam Wars. From the research I've done, it appears most would agree that the 10th Special Forces Group can be credited with starting what we know today as the unit coin. In 1969, Colonel Vernon Green, then commander of the 10th SFG, designed his unit coin and had it produced. Until the mid-1980s, the 10th SFG was the only Army unit with its own coin. At that time, the tradition caught on and started spreading rapidly throughout units from all the other military branches as well.
Unit coins, which normally contain the unit's crest on the front of the coin and whatever design they would like on the back, were originally handed out by commanders to unit members for a job well done. To be personally recognized by your commander has always been a huge morale booster for military men and women. Many high-ranking officers and senior Department of Defense civilians have their own coins that are representative of their office or position they hold that they also hand out in such a manner. A coworker of mine was presented with a coin by former Secretary of Defense William Cohen. Distinctive coins such as these become instant keepsakes as well as fascinating conversation pieces.
In todays military, unit coins are much more readily available to unit members. Most units order hundreds at a time so that people can buy them on their own. This is their way of showing their pride in the unit they're currently assigned to. On average, the majority of unit coins are sold for $5. These coins are yet another way of promoting esprit de corps within the unit's ranks. With the popularity of these coins growing at a rapid pace, many people buy extras in order to trade with people from other units for their coins. In addition to unit coins, recent years have brought about special coins that are produced to celebrate memorable occasions as well as for specific military operations. Some people have built up impressive collections over the years and have several hundred coins. The designs of the coins range from being very basic to being exquisitely detailed. The most popular size is 1½ inches in diameter, but they can be ordered up to 2 inches. Some coin manufacturers offer a variety of shapes and sizes depending on what the customer wants.
The tradition of the unit coin has also brought about yet another militarily unique tradition: the challenge coin. As with the unit coin, the origin of the challenge coin varies, but it has been traced to the Vietnam conflict era. One of the more entertaining stories is that the challenge coin stemmed from the dangerous tradition of soldiers carrying a personalized bullet with them wherever they went. Upon entering a bar, a soldier was challenged by his fellow team members to produce this bullet. If he did have it with him as he was supposed to, then the person who challenged him would pay his tab for the rest of the night. If the challenged person didn't have his bullet with him then he had to pay for everyone else's drinks. Boys will be boys, and as time went on, soldiers tried to outdo each other by bringing in much larger ordnance. Soon, a full range of cannon and artillery shells were brought into the bars. With a paramount concern for safety, the dangerous live ammunition was eventually replaced with a unit coin, which served the same purpose for these challenges.
The rules for the challenge coins have been greatly expanded throughout the years. Some units take this tradition so seriously that they have developed regulations on challenge coin etiquette. The most important rule to remember is that you should have your coin with you at all times, whether at work or not because challenges can be issued at any place and any time. Remember my coworker who was given a coin by the Secretary of Defense? This same man was taking a shower at a deployed location when his commander walked by and challenged him to produce his coin. Not having many places to put his coin while taking a shower, my coworker failed to produce his coin and was therefore obligated to buy his commander a drink.
While military coins haven't yet become a highly sought after collectible in the civilian world as other items have, they are an extraordinary element in our military history and are becoming more and more collectible among military personnel. As new coins are being developed, the designs are becoming more intricately detailed thus increasing their popularity. Perhaps in a few years, these coins will be as admired as unit patches currently are among civilian collectors. In the meantime, those of us in the military will continue collecting and carrying them while exuding our military pride.

Well, this is coincidental. In the mail yesterday I got a package from my old friend and brother. It was a new SF coin, with my name engraved in it. He knew that I gave my last one to a young Ranger who was leaving for back to Iraq after a short leave home. He had my name engraved on it just like the old.
Remember, these coins must be given to you, to buy one is not the same. This one meant more than any Bronze star to me!!

General Lt. Flowers wanted to give all in my squad a coin. I was happy as a 6 year old on the eve of X-mas. But for some reason he changed his mind and only gave one to our CO. :(
I like that tradition and we are starting to use it here in Norway aswell. To bad we did not have time to make one ourself down on BAF to give away to friends.
But hey! We gave away some sort of plastic cups that made us be loved by all our allied partners.

They are pure magic to have with you in your pocket. The problem on BAF was that they had coffee above their eyebrows but no paper cups. So when a guest came in and wanted to have coffee he got the evil eye. But pulling up that baby you got standing ovations. And when you could give one like that away, they tatooed your name on their asses in share thankfullness. :D
