Challenge coins serve as a token of appreciation, in place of ribbons and medals. It has a long history among soldiers and first responders as a way to honor their service. Some businesses started incorporating them into their organizations to boost morale. Individuals use them for branding purposes, and charities use them to award prizes or commemorate a fundraiser.

Custom Coin Designs

A more creative approach you can take is using custom coins as collector's items that showcase your artistic talent. Whether it's a simple logo or a complex art piece, a great custom coin always starts with a striking design.

Even if you have no art or design skills, Pin Depot can help! Our staff of artists and designers have years of digital art experience, and are more than happy to assist you in the design process. If you’re not confident in creating your own coin designs, you can always send us your ideas in the form of written notes or even a small sketch. We even take doodles on a napkin! You would be shocked to see how capable our team is at bringing your ideas to life!

Once you approve your design, for 3D coins, a computer-generated 3-dimensional mold is made. This is then stamped into metal to create the raised and recessed areas of the coin. The coin base is plated in gold, silver, or whichever pin plating you have chosen. The recessed areas are then filled with coloured enamel paint (or translucent colors, which look amazing!), separated by the raised areas made by the metal outlines in the design stage.

The layers of enamel paint are applied to the recessed areas. Once the enamel is baked and dried, the pin’s colors actually sit slightly lower than the raised metal areas, giving the finished pin a distinct outlined look.
