The fact that Challenge Coins Plus does not only ship within the United States comes a surprise to many of our customers. We often times fulfill requests for and deliver custom challenge coins to soldiers at war or stationed overseas in places such as Iraq and Afghanistan. We are excited to add the beautiful continent of Australia, down under, to our challenge coin passport.
The Sky is the Limit for Customized Coins
Our most recent international challenge coin order was placed by the Australian Trade commission (Austrade) which works to advance Australia’s international trade and investment interest by providing information, advice and services. The customized coins are going to be handed out to other commissions from other countries when they visit Australia.
The Austrade coin is double sided with a high polished silver finish. It displays the organizations symbol which is made up of recognizable Australian images. The silhouettes of a kangaroo and an ostrich bracing a shield are set in the middle on one side of the coin. Graphic text was used for the “Australian Government” and “Australian Trade Commission” lines to identify the organization and associate it with the image. The opposite side of the coin displays more graphic and text which compliments Austrade’s mission.
Overseas Bound Coin is Made Easy
Our process for fulfilling a challenge coin order is exactly the same whether you are here in the U.S. or all the way on the other side of the world. The steps are truly is as simple as 1-2-3:
1. Contact Challenge Coins Plus with your request and ideas. One of our graphic artists will draw out your challenge coin design. We then email you a full color digital proof, free of charge, for you to review and approve. If there is something about the design that you would like to change, we also make unlimited revisions at no additional charge.
2. Once you approve the challenge coin design, we send the details of your request and the proof to our production department where the challenge coin will be made. Production times vary depending on the details of the coin.
3. Your new challenge coins will be shipped directly to you following production.
To those of you that were not aware that we ship outside of the U.S. or believed that the process would be more difficult, this post is especially for you. We did not want you to miss out on the unique and innovative opportunities that customized challenge coins have to offer.
