"Getting Coined" is when the service member receives a 'Challenge Coin." These are given by superior officers, unit coins, or battles fought, as a token of appreciation and/or participation. When 1st Bn, 10th Marines returned from Iraq in June 2003, for example, all the Marines received a 1/10 coin from the commanding officer as well as an OIF coin for their participation in the invasion of Iraq.
