The brave people serving in the US Air Force follow the motto “Aim High” and know that the sky is never the limit.
The Air Force challenge coins they earn through one‘s service honor the bravery, dedication, and excellence shown by Airmen all over the world, and they carry them with pride.

Challenge coins have a place in the history of every branch of the military, but the first ones were made for a group of pilots in World War I. Since then, airmen all over the world have carried challenge coins in their pockets.
When and where soldiers earn their first funds is not set in stone in the Army and Navy, but the Air Force is a whole different story.

No matter when they are awarded, custom military coins are made to be meaningful and memorable. The artwork can be altered you want, so there are no limits to what can be done with design. You’ve come to the right place if you want a custom challenge coin maker to help you make the best Air Force challenge coins.

But we’d rather have other customers tell you about it.
The Airman’s Coin is just the first of many custom coins that a recruit will earn during their service. Teams make their own unit coins to honor their history in the service. Officers make their own coins and give them to the men and women under their command who have done something outstanding, brave, or service-worthy. Each coin has its own personality and meaning because it was thought out and made with care.
One Tradition in the Air Force is for Chief Master Sergeants to order their own set of Air Force challenge coins. Chief Master Sergeants often use images of Native Americans in their designs, but they can use anything they think will make the design more personal and meaningful.
Members of the unit make coins to recognize their time as a team and the unit’s history. Most of the time, these designs include the team’s logo, motto, and colors. We make sure to use the exact Pantone color shade when recreating logos, and we make molds that are so detailed that each design is a perfect copy of an existing logo.
