Challenge coins signify a military member’s camaraderie with other coin holders. It stands to reason there would be an Obama Challenge Coin since he is the new Commander in Chief. However, challenge coins come with an expected response by the military member. Challenge coin history dates back to World War I when an American Lieutenant was captured and stripped of all of his identification other than a pouch with a medallion which identified his squadron’s insignia. When French captors recognized the insignia, they gave the Lt time to confirm who he was and let him go. After that, it became a tradition for all members to carry their coin with them and to ensure they did so the coin challenge, known today as a Coin Check was established.

Maybe Trump needs to demand that Obama tells us what that was all about...

How stupid! Why didn’t they just hand each other the notes, instead if trying to palm them to each other - what they were doing was SO obvious; it was CLEARLY visible. Man, that looked dumb!

Time to do a background on the General. There is no reason whatsoever for such an nefarious exchange to take place. How does the government historically archive such a transaction. Obviously, it had to be prearranged since there is a two way exchange. The whole thing is very strange and odious. Is maybe a glimpse into the internal conspiracy that is afoot in our government?
