While many organizations and services claim to have been the originators of the challenge coin, the most commonly held view is that the tradition began in the UNITED STATES ARMY SERVICE (a forerunner of the current UNITED STATES AIR FORCE). It became a tradition for all members to carry their coin at all times. To ensure compliance, the pilots would challenge each other to produce the coin.
