Coins by Department
A Tradition of Honoring Bravery
A custom coin turns a moment of service into something worth keeping.
First responder challenge coins recognize acts of heroism, department camaraderie, retirements, and academy graduations. Handed out at a promotion ceremony, a retirement dinner, or quietly after a hard call, a coin turns a moment of service into something a firefighter, officer, medic, or dispatcher carries for the rest of their career — a tangible thank-you when a certificate isn't enough and words fall short.

Everything You Need to Know
Common questions from the departments we work with. Still have questions? Our team is a phone call away.
Do you make coins for fire, police, and EMS departments?
Can you replicate our department's badge or patch design?
Absolutely. Send us your badge, patch, seal, or logo — a photo or rough sketch is plenty — and our art team recreates it as a coin, matching shapes, emblems, and colors. You’ll get a free digital proof and unlimited revisions until it’s exactly right before anything is produced.
What's the minimum order for a shift or squad?
Custom coins start at a 50-coin minimum, so a single shift, squad, or station can order without committing to a huge run. Per-coin pricing improves as the quantity goes up, so larger department orders land in a better price tier.
How fast can you turn around a coin for a retirement or graduation?
Digital proofs come back within 48 hours, and most orders ship within about 14 business days after you approve the proof. Working toward a ceremony date? Tell your sales rep up front and we’ll do everything we can to hit it.
Do departments get a price break for larger orders?
Yes. Per-coin pricing drops as quantity goes up, so academy-wide, multi-station, and department-wide orders land in a better tier than a small run. Compare volume pricing on our challenge coin pricing page.
