Deployment Coins

Deployment Coin FAQs

Can you put mission dates, an operation name, or a task-force patch on it?+

Yes. Mission dates, operation names, and task-force patches reproduce well in raised metal, a patch struck in metal instead of thread. Send your reference and we build a proof.

Can you do a tactical, subdued finish?+

Yes. Black nickel and matte finishes give deployment coins a tactical, subdued look that reads differently from a ceremonial gold piece. You pick the finish on your proof.

We need enough for everyone on the rotation. How does pricing work?+

Per-coin pricing improves as quantity rises, so a full-rotation order brings the unit cost down, and the mold fee is waived on orders of 300 or more.

Can you ship to APO/FPO downrange?+

Yes. Domestic shipping is free, including APO, FPO, and DPO addresses, so we can deliver to the unit wherever it's stationed.

How soon should we order before we deploy?+

Production runs 18 to 21 business days after you approve your proof, plus a day for the first proof. Order about a month ahead of the deployment date to be safe.
