theyre called challenge coins, and they used to be a really big deal for a long time. someone superior to you likes something you did, they give you the coin. the higher the rank and/or the bigger the coin, the more "value" it has. i think traditionally they're minted for officers to give to lower enlisted, but idk for sure. anyway you carry around either the biggest or most valuable one
the game is usually someone says "challenge" or a phrase meaning "everyone pull out your coins", everyone slams down their coins
different people have different rules
most of the time its the biggest/highest rank coin is the "winner", and i think he buys the first round of drinks
they exist within so many militaries for so long that its not uncommon for troops to trade them with other nations
especially if the coin has the name of a famous officer, imagine how legendary it would be to trade challenge coins with a kraut in WWI/II
allied forces too, australians for some reason love US challenge coins
they got really popular in the iraq war when aussies were dropping in for whatever
