The following is a point/counterpoint discussion about the best way to show off a challenge coin collection. Col. Joe Schumaker, an officer in the 7th Infantry Division, will be presenting the point. Mark Cahill, a former US Army sergeant, will be presenting the counterpoint.

POINT: I believe that a tiered wooden rack, preferably stained with a cherry or ebony finish, supports the best possible display of a large number of coins. The elevation allows one to prominently show their most valued coins at the top, then in descending order, so the eye is naturally drawn to the most impressive portion of the collection.

COUNTERPOINT: I got a coin once. I was in Iraq. Diyala province I think. Hot as hell. I was rubbing one out in the porta-shitter, trying to finish before I had a heat stroke. When I was done I went over to the motor pool bay where they had stacked a bunch of weapons.
