| I recently saw several of these for sale on Ebay and I wondered when they were made, given and even the purpose of them. Can someone tell me about them?<br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| A challenge coin is used mostly for a bar.  You or someone else plop a challenge coin on the counter and the one that doesn't have a coin buys the drinks.  There are other reason's but this is the most widely known...<br/> <br/> Don <br/><br/>Sgt. Donald C. Byers, 613th Bomb Squadron, Togglier, 42-97344 Carrie B II, KIA 08/24/1944.<br/>

| Don,<br/> <br/> That is interesting. How did the guys get them in the first place? Did they have to buy them or were they given for doing something? Does anyone know?<br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>

| Don,<br/> <br/> Thank you for sending me that link. It was very nice to read and it was interesting to see the different uses as well as the length of time they have been in use. I wonder if anyone on the 401st still has theirs?<br/> <br/> <br/> Jackie <br/><br/><img class='ForumMaxImgWidth' src='http://www.donald-byers.com/JackieSharpSig.jpg' /><br/>
