As the leading coin maker, our custom challenge coins utilize various plating techniques to achieve stunning effects. Especially, custom silver coins are very popular among customers.

[ Minimum Order Quantity ]

What is your minimum order quantity?
We have no minimum quantity requirement, allowing you to order just one. But the unit price per coin will be lower for bulk orders.
Moreover, you can test the custom coin design with a small batch order, or you can order our coin samples.

[ Process Options ]

Could you suggest some processes for making my personalized coins?
GS-JJ provides various processes for your custom challenge coins. The custom antique coin process gives a vintage style. The shiny and sandblasted coin processes are beautiful due to their glossy surface. The soft enamel custom coin process results in a lumpy texture, while the hard enamel coin process gives a smooth surface. The cut-out custom coin process allows for personalized designs, such as bottle opener coins. EMS challenge coins sometimes use the cut-out process as well. And the custom engraved coins come into our pre-designed shapes, with space to engrave the text you want, like the years of service or a meaningful date.

[ Options ]

Do challenge coins have regular thicknesses and sizes?
Not always. It depends on your needs. We can create custom challenge coins for you with the best quality.

Most of them require 2" in size. The standard thickness of our custom coins is 3.0mm without the additional fee. And if you need heavy coins, such as those with a thickness of 3.5mm, an additional 11% will be added to the unit price. Meanwhile, different coin sizes can be welcomed.

[ Shapes ]

Can you customize coins in different shapes?
Yes, you can customize your challenge coins in various shapes. The most traditional coin is round, but you can also choose custom-shaped coins such as squares, triangles, stars, cut-out shapes, and more, based on your preferences. 

Shapes Types:

● Standard shapes: such as round, square, triangle, etc.
● Unique shapes: such as cars, houses, stars, shields, badges, die-cut, etc.
● Cut-out shapes: any custom cut shapes that are related to your design.

Things to note: 

● Increased price: Non-round challenge coins are more expensive than round challenge coins and are of superior quality. 
● Impact on size: Custom shapes will affect size. Custom-shaped coins will appear larger or smaller than round coins due to the different ways the edges are perceived. Square or triangular coins will appear smaller than round coins of the same size.
● Edges: Some special edges will be affected due to the irregular shapes.

[ Production ]

Where are my custom coins made? 
Custom coins are made directly in China without a middleman. We've set up our production base in China, Vietnam and overseas, equipped with dedicated machinery. 
Establishing our production base not only increases production speed but also enables us to confidently handle large orders and accept custom coin requests of various types.

[ Weight ]

How much will my custom coin weigh? 
The weight of a custom coin is affected by the thickness, size, and material of the coin. With a heavier weight, you will have a higher quality feel. 

Factors that affect weight: 
●Thickness: Usually, the thickness of a custom coin is 3 mm. The thicker the thickness, the heavier the custom coin will be. 
●Size: Typically, a 1.5-inch coin weighs around 1 ounce, a 1.75-inch coin weighs between 1 and 1.5 ounces, and a 2-inch or larger coin can weigh 1.5 ounces or more. 
●Material: Brass is heavier than zinc alloy.

[ Sequential Number ]

Can I order custom coins with sequential numbering?
Yes, you can order challenge coins with sequential numbers to add a unique identity to your custom coins. 

Benefits of sequential numbering:

● Identification and differentiation: Adding sequential numbers can help identify and differentiate custom coins.
● Collection value: Adding sequential numbers to the coin adds uniqueness and makes it more collectible.
● Personalization options: You can set up personalized numbers in the quotation system.
● Memorial gifts: Provide sequentially numbered coins as gifts at events and competitions to make the gift even more unique and memorable.

Position:

● On the coin surface: Integrate sequential numbering into the coin design as a distinctive feature.
● Around the edge of the coin: The coin's design remains the focal point, with the serial number discreetly placed on the edge, serving as a subtle design element.

Format:

● Numbering format: The numbers typically follow formats like 001~xxx or 1/100~xxx. You can preview your design proof to confirm that the sequence numbering meets your expectations.

Sequential Numbering Price:

The price of sequential numbers ranges from $0.18 to $0.39 per piece.

[ Edges ]

 Can you create different edges for custom challenge coins?
Of course. As we know, different edges can create perfect effects. Therefore, we provide six coin edges for you, like Standard edge, Rope edge, Leaft edge, Cross cut edge, Spur edge, Oblique line edge, Bezel edge, and so on. You can find more information on <<How to choose the proper edge for your custom challenge coins>>.

[ Artwork ]

What type of artwork do you accept?
JPG, PDF, PNG, EPS, AI, etc. If you want to send your picture in other forms, you can contact our customer service.

[ Quantity & Price ]

How much do custom coins cost?
Challenge coin prices can vary depending on the quantity, size, crafts, material, featured options, etc. Bulk orders will be subject to more discounts.

Price Ranges:

Prices range from $5.75 to $7.30 for 100 pieces of custom challenge coins ranging from 1.5 inches to 2 inches.

Factors affecting challenge coin prices:
●Design: Complex designs or different styles will lead to higher prices.
●Size: There is a price increase for larger sizes due to the substantial mold required.
●Edge: Different edge options have different fees.
●Materials and Plating: Coins are made of metals including zinc alloy, iron, or brass.
●Plating: Shiny plating, antique plating, two-tone plating, and rainbow plating have different prices.
●Packing Options: Special packaging options require additional charges, such as coin capsule, velour box, etc.
●More Featured Options: 3D, engraving, glitter, sequential numbering, epoxy dome, and other options will increase the cost of the coin.
●Delivery Time: Different shipping times will influence pricing. If you need your order rushed, the cost will be higher.

●No Hidden Fees: Fully transparent pricing.

●Shipping Cost: GSJJ provides logistics and distribution services to more than 40 countries and regions, including the United States with exceptional customer service!

[ Quality ]

How can I tell if a custom coin is good quality?
The quality of a coin is determined by the aspects of design, craftsmanship, and materials. 

Design execution:

● Clarity: The artwork, including any text and patterns, should be clear and easy to read on the coin.
● Color matching: The colors on a well-made coin should be consistent with the theme of the coin itself.

Manufacturing process:

●Strike: The stamping on the coin should be consistent and should include crisp design elements. Multiple stamping will affect production and is not recommended.
●Luster: The coin can have a metallic luster causing an exquisite and high-end result.
●Free from damage: Check whether the product itself has any defects and errors, such as scratches, eccentric stamping, etc. These defects or errors, if any, can potentially affect the aesthetic of the coin. 

Material choice:

●Metal Selection: Coins are typically made from durable and suitable metals such as zinc, brass, etc. Different metals have different properties that will result in different feels, weights, and presentation of the coin.
●Plating Options: Does the metal plating on the coin's surface compliment the design?
●Quality of enamel: If the coin is enamel-coated, consider whether it is soft enamel or hard enamel. Soft enamel creates a textured surface, while hard enamel creates a smooth, polished surface.

[ Mold Fee ]

Must I pay a mold fee when customizing coins?
When you customize your coins for the first time, a mold fee needs to be paid. But our mold fee is free for the next two years, and we will keep it in our mold room.

[ Picture ]

If I have a favorite picture. Can you use it in my coin design?
Of course, you can. Makers can choose offset printing techniques to create challenge coins. But remember: you must provide a high-definition image to prevent unclear prints. Our design team will help you finish your custom challenge coins.

[ Guarantee ]

What guarantee do you offer on your product?
Before the production of your order, you can cancel it at any time and are entitled to our refund. However, once your product has shipped or been delivered, we won't cancel it. If you get a defective product, we will either remake your order free of charge or give a discount. But this is rare!

[ Payment ]

How do I pay for custom coins?
You can pay for your order online by check or credit card. We accept PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Check, or Money Orders. We will commence production immediately upon receipt of your payment. 

Payment terms:
●Advance payment: For our customers, custom coin orders require full payment to be received before production.
●Pay later/payment by installments: Sometimes, we are able to support some organizations, government, and schools, and will approve them to pay later or pay by installments after we strictly review and accept the required documents. 

Refund policy for custom coins:

In general, a custom coin order won't be refunded once production has already started.

[ Shipping ]

How much is shipping?
Our shipping is air delivery. It needs 2 days. Generally speaking, shipping is free. But there is a special case. We can send the APO/FPO address. The problem is that FedEx can't deliver the goods to APO/FPO.

So we will send the package to our California office first. Then we can USPS it to APO/FPO. In this case, we need to charge the customer extra transportation fees and add additional transportation dates. Because the parcel will not be delivered directly, there is a process of transshipment. All in all, you will get the lowest prices.

[ UV Print ]

What are UV printed coins?
The UV-printed coins are made with UV printing technology. They can 100% show your design with vivid colors and patterns. UV printing is a common and popular technique that transfers your inked picture on the printing surface of coins.

[ Turnaround Time ]

How long does it take to customize a coin?
The typical turnaround time for custom challenge coins is 7-30 days, which is based on design complexity, quantities, and delivery location. 

The Main Time Elements:

●Design proof: Complete the first draft within 24 hours and adjust the proof within several hours.
●Production time: 3-30 days is common for custom coins.
●Delivery time: The transportation method is air shipping, and the shipping time takes 3 working days. If the product is not in urgent need, you can choose 7, 22, or 30 working days for production and enjoy 15%, 25%, and 30% shipping discounts. Rush Service: For urgent needs such as events and competitions, we provide 24-hour rush service with guaranteed quality. 

Factors that Affect Turnaround Time:

●Product quantity: The larger the number of products, the more time is required for mass production.
●Design complexity: The complexity of the design directly impacts production time. Features like 3D design or a spinner will lengthen the production cycle.
●Production process: Processes such as cutting and engraving will extend the production time.
●Delivery address: The delivery address will also affect the turnaround time. 

Tips for Faster Production:

● Choose a simple design: A simple design can shorten the time for drawing and production. Or using coin templates to save time.
● Provide a clear design: A clear design can speed up the design process.
● Advise the delivery date: Contact customer service to confirm the delivery date and ensure timely receipt of the product.
● Choose an urgent option: If the delivery time is urgent, you can contact customer service to inquire about expedited service or recommend rush products.

[ Design Artwork ]

Can I order this design from your website?
All images in the gallery and exhibition, and their design, are the copyrighted designs of our customers. You cannot order someone else's design without their explicit permission.

[ Materials ]

What materials are challenge coins made of?
Custom coins are usually made of brass and zinc alloy, which are electroplated on the surface to enhance the appearance and effect of the challenge coin. Silver and wooden challenge coins are available for an additional charge. 

Custom coin metal types:

● Brass: Brass is a strong, high-quality, and attractive metal known for its ductility, high density, and durability.
● Zinc: Zinc is a strong metal that can make more delicate patterns, but it is more susceptible to corrosion than brass. Zinc's alloy composition can be adjusted and optimized to have better mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, etc. 

Material selection guide: 

● Durability: If you want to customize a coin with a sense of weight and strong durability, you can choose brass material for customization.
● Featured design: For a more intricate design, consider using zinc alloy for customization. This material is suitable for detailed patterns, such as 3D and hollowing techniques.
● Cost: Brass will be more expensive than zinc.
● Weight: Brass is heavier than zinc alloy, and its substantial feel often indicates higher quality, giving coin owners a sense of solid and lasting value. 

Environmentally friendly: 

Zinc alloy and wood are both eco-friendly materials, demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and reducing environmental impact.

[ Finish Options ]

What metal finish options are available?
Custom metal coins offer various metal finish options. Including shiny gold, shiny silver, copper, shiny black nickel, antique gold, antique brass, antique silver, antique copper, two-tone,  and rainbow finish. These finishes enhance the appearance of challenge coins.

[ 2D VS 3D ]

What is the difference between 2D and 3D?
With a 2D coin, the surface will be flat, and the metal linework that makes up the design will be raised, with the top of the line flat. With a 3D coin, the surface will be raised, and the design will be detailed and rounded off to give it a 3D effect. 3D will be more expensive.

A 2D coin only has two levels, one raised level over a lower recessed level. 3D coins have infinite levels of raised and recessed detail, allowing for sculpted images and rounded edges with more realistic depth on a coin's metallic surface.

Challenge Coin History

The Best Custom Military Challenge Coins
For a deeper understanding of what challenge coins are, it's important to learn the history. The actual origin of the coin may never be known. Below are the most popular stories about the history of the Military Coin.
GS-JJ.com is proud to be the World’s leading manufacturer and qualified coin maker of Challenge Coins and to be part of Challenge Coin History.
WWI Coin History

WWI Coin History: Are You
Interested?

During World War I, in one squadron, a wealthy lieutenant ordered medallions struck in solid bronze and presented them to his unit. One young pilot placed the medallion in a small leather pouch that he wore around his neck.
It became a tradition to ensure that all unit members carried their medallion or coin at all times. So that is the story behind challenge coin history and traditions.
WWII Coin History
