Celebrate the Birthplace of America with Pennsylvania Challenge Coins

In 1775, the First Continental Congress gathered in Philadelphia to discuss the wrongs enacted on the colonies by King George III. When their efforts and demands were ignored by the King, they returned a year later, drafted the Declaration of Independence and kicked off the American Revolutionary War. Once the war was won, the delegates would gather in Philadelphia again for the creation and signing of the U.S. Constitution, and Pennsylvania would be the second state to sign that Document. Pennsylvania has always been the seat of American Independence and the birthplace of the nation. Celebrate this commonwealth’s singular position with Pennsylvania challenge coins.

Corporate Pennsylvania Challenge Coins

Pennsylvania is home to the city of Centralia. An old coal mining city, Centralia is known for the mine fire that has burned underneath it since 1962. As legend has it, the fire started when residents attempted to burn trash in a city dump and a vein of coal in one of their old mines ignited. Because of the nature of coal and the vast reaches of coal deposits under the city, scientists believe that the Centralia mine fire could burn for centuries. 

According to FEMA, Pennsylvania has upwards of 1,788 fire departments. Each department can have multiple stations underneath it to best serve the people who live, work and play in the Keystone State. They may not be able to put out the Centralia fire, but other disasters are met with skill and bravery from the men and women serving Pennsylvania as first responders. 

Considering rewarding the first responders from these Pennsylvania fire departments with firefighter challenge coins:

  • Carnegie Volunteer Fire Department
  • Pittsburgh Fire Department
  • Whitehall Fire Company
  • Philadelphia Fire Department
  • Boeing Fire Department
  • Bethel Park Volunteer Fire Company
  • York City Fire Department
