Started in March 2003, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is one of the younger U.S. government agencies to adopt the custom challenge coin tradition. ICE was created by the Department of Homeland Security in response to the 9/11 attacks, with a unique combination of civil and criminal authorities aimed at better protecting national security and strengthening public safety. Today, ICE is a sophisticated agency whose agents put their safety on the line each day enforcing federal immigration and customs laws — and they deserve custom government challenge coins that reflect both their unique personalities and their rigorous service.
With more than two decades of service, Signature Coins has perfected the art of delivering custom challenge coins to our nation’s heroes. With an industry-leading 14-day production time and unparalleled customer service, we’re certain you won’t find a better custom challenge coin company on the market.

Let Signature Coins show you why placing an order with us means you’ll never have to look for another custom coin manufacturer again.
What Are ICE Challenge Coins?
Challenge coins are a unique way to recognize service and mark career milestones. Given as an honor by a superior officer, the coins go a long way towards boosting morale amongst service members and instilling a sense of unity within a team. With a history dating back to WWI, custom challenge coins have permanently woven themselves into the fabric of American history. Each of the major branches of the U.S. military, as well as multiple law enforcement agencies, government agencies, companies and corporations all reward their members with challenge coins for their exceptional service and achievements.
With over 20,000 law enforcement and support personnel spread out over 400 offices, ICE is an agency perfectly poised to make use of custom challenge coins. ICE challenge coins exist for those agents who set records, achieve goals, complete special missions and pass career milestones.
Customizing Your ICE Challenge Coins
With Signature Coins, you’re always in control. The final look and feel of your coin is completely up to you. If you’re having trouble fine tuning your design, our highly trained and dedicated specialists are only a phone call away, and they’re always ready to help guide you in finding the customization options that will best suit your coin.
Some of the custom options we offer include:
- Shape and Size - Our coins typically range anywhere from 1" to 3" in size. However, we recommend ordering a coin at least 1.75" in size for the best balance of showcasing coin detail and weight. And coins larger than 3" are constantly growing in popularity.
- Color - Either choose to leave the coin in its natural metallic or you can have it painted with up to seven colors on either side from the full Pantone color spectrum. This is especially important for displaying organization and flag colors on a coin.
- Coin Edge - There are six different options to decorate the edge of every coin, providing a unique look and feel to each order.
- Edge Numbering - Each coin in the order can have a number or word engraved or printed onto the edge of a coin to make each one immediately distinct from the rest of their peers. There may be many coins like it, but each challenge coin a recipient receives will be their own unique medallion.
- Plating - Have your coin plated in antique gold, silver, or copper to highlight details or choose to double plate a coin in two different metals to create and highlight key details. Having trouble choosing between the plating options? Larger coins allow for triple plating, meaning you don’t have to choose at all.
- 3D Coins - Have details or elements of a design such as an emblem, slogan, or illustration literally pop or standoff a coin’s surface by ordering a 3D coin.
- Offset Printing - Offset printing creates an exact replica of an image or photograph on the surface of your coin.
- Silk Screen - Let your coin maintain a perfectly smooth coin surface by silk screening your design’s colors onto the coin.
- Epoxy Dome - Create a glassy and smooth finish over one or both sides of a coin with an epoxy dome.
