This NFC Chip-Enabled Challenge Coin Is The Best Business Card Alternative

Apr 20, 2023

Gray Water Ops can render stunning challenge coin designs for you and include a NFC chip in the center of the coin, that allows the coin to DO something like transfer contact info or open a webpage on the receiving phone.

Business cards are an area of social and business interaction sorely lacking in innovation. The same technology that vacuum salespeople used to promote their products in the 1940s is still being used today in exactly the same way to promote businesses in every sector. In this digital, fast-paced age, the business card simply must go the way of the dodo, but how will it be replaced?

Gray Water Ops has a potential answer. Recently, they secured the patent for a technology that would allow their stunningly rendered challenge coin products to function as digital business cards - and much more - using NFC chip integrations. These coins are new to the market and are sure to make a statement at your next business meetup.

Following these innovations, the company can build challenge coin designs that feature multiple layers of material inlaid into the face of each coin. They can also create coins in custom shapes for bulk orders.

Gray Water Ops challenge coins are intended as a way to show gratitude or membership to customers, employees, or members of an organization. The tradition of challenge coins dates back thousands of years to the Roman empire, but in the modern age, they can be used to represent customer loyalty or exclusive membership.

The patented NFC chip integrations installed in every coin allow for a level of utility not available anywhere else on the market. These microchips are housed inside the coin’s brass core and can be programmed to serve a wide variety of functions, such as the instant transmission of contact information simply by tapping an NFC-enabled smartphone to the coin.

These NFC integrations also make the coins ideal in a business setting, as they can be an easy way to digitally transfer your contact info to others at a networking event or meeting.

As a promotional item for trade shows, NFC smart coins are ideal because the face of the coin can represent your brand, while the chip inside can link the recipient to wherever you want them to go.

This technology is also taking military challenge coins in a new direction. Gray Water Ops customers include military organizations from all branches of the US military.

"Challenge coins" originated in the military, but until now, have never included technology enabling the coin to be functional. High-ranking military officials have personal coins. They give them out to others as a way to recognize and show their appreciation for a job well done. Now they can be ordered with the microchip inside, with links to the bearer's website.

Working with the company’s in-house graphic design team, you can create custom artwork that will then be translated into a steel die for each coin face. These designs can include various 2D or 3D raised surfaces and recessed areas that will later be painted. The brass core coins can be plated with any of the 15 different versions available, and dual plating options are available.

A catalog of non-NFC designs that their team has created in the past is available on their website, along with pricing information for bulk orders of over 200 pieces.

When you place your order, you will be among the first people to experience this NFC technology in challenge coin form. The applications are limited only by your imagination!

Gray Water Ops is 100% owned and operated by veterans, and the company models its standard of service and quality after the military precision that their team is familiar with. The company also regularly donates a portion of certain sales to organizations such as the Red Cross.
