I've added an image of a USMC birthday celebration coin. It's not technically a challenge coin (too big and heavy for flipping like a quarter) but the heads side design is nearly identical to that of USMC challenge coins, they invariably have the eagle, globe & anchor. On the tails side, they usually have the logo of the unit. They are small enough to flip, but that size also provides difficulties for photographers without the equipment or skill for miniature work.

Challenge coins seem to be coming more widely known in the 'non-military' world. I had first heard about them on the The History Channel's Mail Call show, and know that the show's host R. Lee Ermey has created a challenge coin for the show he gives to military personal. At the recent Boy Scout Jamboree, the LDS Church had a challenge coin they had as a give away item. --emb021
