ABOUT THE CREATOR:
Artist Keith Hanshaw has designed custom challenge coins for over 30 years — for military units, federal agencies, law enforcement, and
organizations worldwide. This app was built by someone who understands what these coins mean.
Upload your coins. Tell the story. Challenge other coins. See which one wins.
Early release — features are actively being added and improved.
I get the developers wanna make money to fund it but people who don’t pay can upload 10 coins then that’s it then it’s 10 dollars for 50 uploads and 30 dollars for unlimited. I uploaded a bunch of my coins when the app just started and really liked it but instantly putting a paywall on it and not maybe doing ads when you upload instead just ruined it. I feel this paywall change will cause this app to go dead cause it’s so small yet requires you to pay a good amount. I really liked the concept and seeing other coins but now I’m just gonna go back to Facebook groups cause I can’t upload anymore coins. I think making me watch ads when you upload would make more sense compared to just instantly bricking people to a paywall to keep uploading and keeping the app active!
The must have app for anyone who carries a challenge coin

This app has so much to offer! Designed for military, police, and first responders Challenge Coin Check allows you to carry all of your challenge coins with you in a digital display on a social media platform designed exclusively for Challenge Coin and patch collectors. The browse page is your daily feed of new Challenge Coin’s that have been uploaded to the database toggle, all coins, coins for sale or trade coins when searching. The My coins tab is your personal collection of Challenge Coin’s. It’s a place where you can tell the story behind the Challenge Coin with Meta data, descriptions tags, and keywords to help people find your coins. The challenges page is where you can challenge other coins for a 24 hour vote on which coin is better. Users vote, and likes go towards the top 10 list of the most liked coins on the app. The hosted challenges, our group challenges based on a topic for for instance, if you host a challenge for army military intelligence coins, the only people that could accept that challenge would be people who had a army military intelligence coin and then each challenge the users get to vote between the two coins which one they like better. The scan coin page is where you photo search or keyword search any specific coin add your coins to the database add Meta data to your description and if your coin is a smart coin where you validate the smart coin and include the link that the coin is connected to.
