Okay, let me caveat this post by stating that none of the six coins pictured here were given or presented to me for any reason. In fact, I bought all six of these coins at the Haji shop. The fronts of the coins bear the logos of various college and professional sports teams, while the backs all bear a map of Iraq with the American and Iraqi flags, commemorating Operation New Dawn. For the most part, I have no significant emotional attachment to these coins. I like a few of the sports teams represented here, but that's about it. I bought the coins because I thought they were great little souvenier reminders of my second tour in Iraq. I do not actually display these coins with my collection, though I have debated doing so. They are not "challenge coins" by any stretch of the imagination.
