What Types of Challenge Coins Do You Make?

Lapel Pins Plus manufactures custom challenge coins for organizations of all kinds — from military units and government agencies to corporations, nonprofits, and sports teams. Every coin is die-struck from solid metal and built to the same quality standard as our lapel pins.

We offer several challenge coin categories tailored to different needs:

Corporate Challenge Coins

Corporate challenge coins are used by businesses for employee recognition, team building, brand promotion, and milestone celebrations. They make memorable gifts for clients, top performers, and long-tenured employees. Companies also use them as unique business cards or trade show giveaways that people actually keep.

Government Challenge Coins

Government challenge coins serve military branches, law enforcement, fire departments, and government agencies. These coins carry deep tradition — they represent unit identity, commemorate service, and recognize achievement. Our government coins are manufactured with double-sided molds for full front-and-back customization.

Spinner Coins

For something interactive, spinner challenge coins feature a rotating element built into the coin itself. The spinner can sit inside a cutout in the coin or float on the surface, adding a fun, tactile dimension. Spinner coins require two molds (one for the coin body, one for the spinner piece) and have a lower minimum of just 50 pieces.

All of our challenge coins come with extensive customization:

  • Colors: Up to 7 enamel colors included, or choose an all-metal "no color" finish
