Choosing A Custom Challenge Coin Manufacturer
As custom made challenge coins become more popular in both civilian and military groups and
organizations, the number of manufacturers providing them grows. For the group or individual looking
for a newly designed and minted challenge coin, the choices may seem overwhelming. This article will
outline the options, features and processes that a coin manufacturer should provide, helping the reader
understand exactly what to look for.
• Cost. Most custom challenge coins are reasonably priced. Look for a manufacturer that doesn't
charge more than a few dollars for a small quantity of uncolored 1.5 inch coins. In addition,
since coins are often issued to many individuals within an organization or community,
manufacturers should provide progressively lower prices as the quantity of coins ordered rises.
• Speed of manufacturing. A job well done doesn't mean a job that drags on. It is not
unreasonable to expect that a challenge coin manufacturer is capable of completing an order in
as little as one and a half weeks.
• Minimal extra fees. Though fees for some parts of the process – such as if a custom mold has to
be created – are to be expected, new buyers should consider manufacturers that can produce
coins without many additional costs. For example, a potential customer should not have to pay
for a quote. Some coin manufacturers also provide free design and artwork – helpful to the
customer who has in their head an idea of how their challenge coin could look but has neither
the time, nor the artistic aptitude to put the concept to paper.
• Good shipping and payment options. It is always a benefit to a customer when the company
they deal with has fair shipping rates. Customers should look for coin makers that ship items at
a low rate (rather than offering high-fee options only), or those that ship for free using reliable
courier services. In addition, since the recipients of challenge coins may be active members of
the Armed Forces, manufacturers should be able to ship to APO/FPO addresses – an option
conspicuous by its absence on many websites.
• Versatility. Challenge coin makers often deal with the military – to see on a company website
that they do is indicative of their quality. However, new customers should look for
manufacturers that also create coins to commemorate other groups, such as businesses, sporting
teams, communities and fundraisers.
