Custom NFC Challenge Coins – Interactive Coins With Embedded Technology

An NFC challenge coin is a custom minted metal coin with an embedded NFC microchip sealed inside the coin.

When someone taps the coin with a compatible smartphone, it can:

• Open a website

• Launch a digital business card

• Link to a donation page

• Trigger event access

• Display exclusive content

• Connect to product information

• Direct to a video or campaign

The coin remains a premium metal keepsake — now enhanced with digital capability.

Our NFC coins are not plastic tags.

They are:

• 2" solid brass core

• Custom 3D or 2D die struck metal

• Embedded NFC chip

• Printed insert sealed under epoxy

• Waterproof and durable

The technology is permanently integrated into the coin.

NFC-enabled coins are ideal for:

• Corporate marketing campaigns

• Executive digital business cards

• Event access passes

• Conference engagement

• Fundraising initiatives

• Brand activations

• Product authentication

• Limited edition releases

If you want your coin to trigger action, NFC makes it possible.

Your NFC coin still includes:

• Raised 2D or 3D metal detail

• Multiple finish options (15 available)

• Custom shapes

• Laser engraved edges

• High relief sculpted surfaces

It looks and feels like a premium challenge coin — because it is.

The technology enhances it. It doesn’t replace it.

We discourage cluttered artwork.

The best challenge coins focus on:

• Strong central imagery

• Bold raised metal

• Clean enamel sections

• Depth that creates shadow and contrast

We optimize every design for metal, not just digital art.

Minimum order: 100 coins

Customization options include:

• Full color inserts over chip

• Branded artwork

Premium high relief coins are often:

If your goal is impact, thickness matters.
