What is your favorite Military coin?

I've designed several of these and these aren't all the coins I have but what is your personal favorite coin and do you still have it? I personally like the 3-7 Cav OIF belt buckle I designed. But I'm slightly bias.

Wow! These discussions really do have a way of coming back around, don't they? I think I have posted to two similar discussions already (and I haven't even been on RP six months yet).

[See the "similar discussions" box to the right of this one.]

I used to have a ton, but I donated most of my collection (30 or so) to the greeters in Bangor, Maine where they collect them.

Now this is one thing I really regret I missed out on!
A great tradition!

My favorite is my first one from my first Army National Guard unit. That unit had roots all the way back to the Revolutionary War, and at that time, was called York Rifles. So that is what is on the coin, along with every type of unit it has been over the years from Infrantry to MP to Transportation to Engineers among others. It also has every War listed on the coin that the unit has been in. In this case, I am using the term unit to mean the physical location of the Armory since most of them had changed MOS qualifications over the years to stay at tha location.

I'm a paralegal and on one deployment I went on the JAGs we replaced had a coin made. It read "Send Lawyers, Guns, and Money"
