“You have to have your lucky piece”. It was a common military practice during night outs in bars or clubs, to whip out once challenge coin slam it on the bar and any military man caught without it will have to pay for the drinks of those who have theirs at hand. History had this tradition going on for hundreds of years. As legends were told during world war I, military men were comprised of wealthy young men who dropped out of school to train for the army. One of the wealthiest lieutenant then, tailored custom coins made of gold, and distributed it amongst his comrades in the squadron to symbolize their works and sacrifices together. Then one of the comrades from the said troop was captured by the Germans, took all his belongings and all that was left of him was his challenge coin. The soldier escaped and found his way to the French army. However, at that time, since he was incapable of identifying himself, they thought he was a Civilian German spy in disguise and he was ordered to be executed. His challenge coin saved his life, because the French army recognized the insignia in it and his identity was established.
