Tomorrow the following coins will be handed out to the roofing craftsmen at Scott Enterprises in Omaha for their completed training. This marks the first time in 2017 our coins will be used to improve job performance within the individuals who carry the coins. Some day we would love to see coins become a construction site staple, every job worked has a unique coin for everyone on the site to identify them working on the project.

Acacia Fraternity at UNL is the sixth greek organization we have worked with and the second at the University of Nebraska. For those who aren't familiar, a challenge coin is used to connect people across a common boundary or goal; a fraternity or sorority is the poster child for groups with meaning. Additionally, they make great fundraisers by selling them individually to alumni!

This is the Continental Fire Coin; used on a Fire Sprinkler Project in Arizona under the Kiewit umbrella. It is the largest company we have done a project with to date; and construction companies are ones that could benefit tremendously from using challenge coins; many labor employees are constantly shuffled around but a challenge coin at each job could show them where they have been and where they want to go. All for less than the cost of a t-shirt.

Challenge Coins run through an incredibly unique process when they are minted; for those who aren't aware of the steps.
1. Plaster mold
2. Shrinking the die
3. Printing
The video of the Philidelphia Mint shows the process that hasn't changed much is the last 90 years!
