I&#039;d assume your unit contracted to buy a few hundred or thousand. The (Navy) unit that I work with has done the same - we give a coin to each person who reports to the unit.

I get some senior Navy personnel come through my office and they have a really cool display of 20-30 challenge coins they&#039;ve picked up over the years, and they always have a bunch of cool stories to tell about each one. Shoot, even as a civilian contractor I&#039;ve got about 10 and can spin a good yarn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
