Why Firefighters, Cops, and Soldiers Choose M.O.S.

There’s no shortage of companies making challenge coins. Some offer flashy designs. Others churn them out in bulk. But for those who actually serve—in the firehouse, the precinct, or overseas—there’s a difference between a coin that looks good and one that means something.

M.O.S. Challenge Coins was built for that difference.

Built by One of Us

M.O.S. stands for Members of Service. The company was founded by Thomas Ansu, a firefighter who knows the value of recognition and pride firsthand. He started M.O.S. because he didn’t see a coin company that truly understood the culture and brotherhood of service work.

M.O.S. was made for the community—from someone who’s lived it, not just marketed to it.

Unlike big manufacturers, M.O.S. doesn’t just treat coin design like a business. Every project is a personal collaboration. That’s what happens when you talk to someone who’s worn the same gear, worked the same shifts, and felt the same pride.

Real Service Deserves Real Craft

A challenge coin should carry the weight of a career, a moment, a bond. That’s why M.O.S. coins are designed with attention to detail and built with durability in mind.

Whether it’s honoring a fallen teammate, marking a promotion, or celebrating a last alarm, these coins hold up.

A Process That Respects Your Time

You’ve got enough on your plate. That’s why M.O.S. keeps the process simple. You submit your idea, and Thomas gets back to you personally with a free quote. No runaround. No corporate nonsense.

You’re not talking to a rep. You’re talking to someone who gets it.

From there, every step of the coin-making process is built around clear communication, fast response, and mutual respect.

More Than a Coin

M.O.S. coins aren’t generic. They’re story-driven. They capture your crew’s identity, your values, and your legacy. That’s why firefighters, police officers, EMTs, and military members choose M.O.S. over the big-box brands.

Because you’re not just ordering a trinket. You’re making something that lasts.

Why M.O.S.?

Because no one outside the job can understand what the job means. Because when you hand over a coin to someone in your unit, it should hit different. It should feel like it came from the right place.

M.O.S. Challenge Coins was built to be that place.
