There is a custom in US military (at least in the Navy) to issue and exchange patches and commemorative coins. Coins are large and seem to be mostly made by officers, they are similar in use as business cards used to be (before cell phones reduced it to a text). Here is an unusual one. Made during a deployment to Okinawa, it depicts a fox, a bat and a marlin. They are respective insignia of VP-5, VQ-1 and VP-40 squadrons. There were only about 20 of these made. This one was made locally on Okinawa.
