That’s always been my problem with coins. If someone does something outstanding that is deserving of a coin, it’s probably deserving of an award. The difference being and award equals promotion points which actually helps a service members career while a coin doesn’t.

IIRC, we received a certificate of achievement with the standard Army praise on it and a coin. This was back in 89 or 90 so I can't truly recall exactly everything. But it really wasn't about all that TBH. This was a voluntary challenge and we were one of a few to take them up on it. We felt special for about 15 minutes then business as usual. It was really more of a big deal to us and others who were able to meet the challenge than it was to anyone else.
