Overview We now
have our own minted "National Association of Buffalo Soldiers and
Troopers Motorcycle Club" Challenge Coins. A challenge coin is a small
coin or medallion (usually military), bearing an organization's insignia
or emblem and is carried by the organization's members. They are given
to prove membership when challenged and to enhance morale. Chapter
Presidents can award a Full or Associate Member with a Challenge Coin
for Meritorious Accomplishment.
Rules of a Challenge:
The tradition of a challenge is the most common way to ensure that
members are carrying their coin. The challenge only applies to those
members that have been given a coin formally by their Chapter President
or a National Officer. The tradition of the coin challenge is meant to
be a source of morale, and forcing the challenge can cause a reverse
effect. The challenge, which can be made at any time, begins with the
challenger drawing his/her coin, and slapping or placing the coin on the
table or bar. In noisy environments, continuously rapping the challenge
coin on a surface may initiate the challenge. (Accidentally dropping a
challenge coin is considered to be a deliberate challenge to all
present.) Everyone being challenged must immediately produce their coin
and anyone failing to do so must buy a round of drinks for the
challenger and everyone else who has their challenge coin. However,
should everyone challenged be able to produce their coin, the challenger
must buy a round of drinks for the group.
While most holders of challenge coins usually carry them in their
pockets or in some other readily accessible place on their persons, most
versions of the rules permit a challenged person "a step and a reach"
(particularly useful if one is challenged in the shower). Members are
NOT to deface the coin by drilling a hole thru it to keep around their
neck.
These coins will ONLY be sold to
Presidents or National Officers of the NABSTMC.
