Challenge Coin

You might not remember December 22, 2017 as a particularly notable day, but I will always remember it as the day the world first saw Donald Trump’s redesigned Presidential Challenge Coin. Because 99% Invisible did an episode about challenge coins and we actually offered our own coin to donors, my association with challenge coins is strong. Because of that, I was forwarded the December 22 Washington Post article about Trump’s garishly over the top challenge coin by about...9000 people. Here’s a story about challenge coins and my reaction to the Trump coin.

An episode of the What Trump Can Teach Us About Con Law podcast, hosted by Roman Mars, Elizabeth Joh, titled "Challenge Coin" was published on December 28, 2017 and runs 17 minutes.
