The first actual minting of a challenge coin was during the 17th century during the French religious wars. They once again became popular during World War I, when a lieutenant had bronze coins struck for his squadron. His plane went down shortly after and the coin saved his life when he was going to be executed as a saboteur. It became a tradition after that to carry the coin at all times and rules of etiquette evolved for those carrying a challenge coin. The PPJGLI's new challenge coin is an opportunity for anyone to get involved in bringing about positive and lasting social change in their community. "Our goal is to inspire everyday people to discover the leader within by choosing to R.I.S.E.," said Tyner. End
