CHALLENGE COINS: New news- The commander on this base said that the air-force story i wrote about before was not the truth. Its the German Fennel coin and/or The Golden Dragons is where else it came from.
Golden Dragons- in the boxer rebellion 1898 or so was the first time we went overseas as the US military. The Army got a bunch of silver donated to them and they left with Chinese money.. The coins became proof you where there, saw action and did the job. The vets passed them to the new guys who earned them.

The German fennel story is when world war 1 was going on people could buy drinks for 6 fennel. Payday was 1 time a month (when everyone had money everyone buys rounds of drinks. At the end of the month everyone who dropped a fennel on the bar was out of money- the one who didn't have one had to buy a round.
