<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kaparthy, post: 2521694, member: 57463&quot;]I have mixed feelings about this. To me, at worst, collecting these is <b>stolen valor</b> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_Valor_Act_of_2005" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stolen_Valor_Act_of_2005" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://www.stolenvalor.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.stolenvalor.com/" rel="nofollow">here</a> and <a href="http://guardianofvalor.com/hall-of-shame/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://guardianofvalor.com/hall-of-shame/" rel="nofollow">here</a>).&nbsp; In this case, you sound like the worst kind of war profiteer, selling the medals awarded to others. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Challenge coins are awards for service</b>. Displaying a coin that you were not awarded is like wearing a medal that you were not awarded.</p><p><br /></p><p>But where I work, we have a museum and the museum is a huge collection of unit badges.&nbsp; Someone collected them as a way to honor them by recording their times and places.&nbsp; And numismatics is about history.&nbsp; I have a coin that might have been struck under the authority of Diogenes of Sinope. Is that stolen philosophical analysis?&nbsp; I dunno...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
