<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 624300, member: 66&quot;]What I find surprising is that no one ever seems to point out the obvious connection between the short snorter and the military challenge coins.&nbsp; Namely the challenge at the bar to produce them and the person with the shortest/ or who doesn&#039;t have his has to pay for the drinks.</p><p><br /></p><p>Military challenge coins claim a longer heritage, but I had never heard of them until fairly recently but the short snorter tradition was well nown and established and can definitely be traced back to at lest the start of the second world war.&nbsp; Short snorters were originally somewhat unique to the air force personel and then later to the ground forces.&nbsp; I strongly suspect the short snorters were actually the start of what later became the challenge coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
