CAL Have you seriously not received your coin yet?

I will be checking the P.O. today for any stragglers.

Yes...already minted and received.

Done in a nickle finish...instead of the antique.

It's OFS!

Brother, coin has been secured from P.O.

They put stickers and such all over your address. I have to re-package,
and attempt another mail delivery to your AO.

I will inform you of shipment.

I found this and thought it something to pass on.

1. Traditional "Challenge Coin Check" Rules for Veterans & Military
   
   
2. A "Coin Check" consists of a challenge and response. A challenge is initiated by either holding your coin in the air or slamming it on a table or floor and yelling "Coin Check!"
3. Individual(s) challenged must respond by showing their Coin with their own unit's logo to the challenger within 10 seconds.
4. Anyone challenged who doesn't show their Coin must buy a round of drinks for all challenged, including the challenger.
5. Coin Checks are permitted anywhere and anytime.
6. If everyone being challenged produces their Coin, the challenger must buy a round of drinks for all challenged.
7. If you accidentally drop your Coin and it makes an audible sound on impact, then you "accidentally" initiated a Coin Check.
8. There are no exceptions to the rules. They apply to clothed or un- clothed. One step and an arms reach are allowed.
9. A Coin is a Coin. They are not belt buckles, key chains or necklaces. Coins worn in a holder around the neck are valid.

Always carry your coin as a reminder of your commitment and connection to something bigger in your daily life.

I was in a hotel bar about 8 years ago or so when I ran across a guy who had been in the same company as me, albeit I was in the company (B1/506 IN) about 5 years after him. We had both been out for some time. We talked about the Company Coin, which we both had.

I pulled mine out of my wallet, not intending to coin check. He didn't have his with him. Although I told him not to, he bought the beer anyways.

Always carry your coin.

We didn't have coins back in prehistoric times - at least I never heard of them. Are they typically available for Company level, Battalion level, or Regiment level? And where can a person obtain one? I've got an APO coin (#66 - appropriate for a "Devil" I guess!) in my pocket at all times but it would be nice to get one from my old unit as well...

Same here; my time in Division was '72-'74. This past Sept. I attended my friend's Arctic Ranger Reunion as a guest and traded/ gave out some of my APO coins to try and recruit some members to this site. I was hoping we could add some members from the reunion. I know we gave an APO coin to a Ranger Hall of Fame member. The intention was good.
