This is the first edition of the Challenge Coins app. The first app that lets you scan and digitalize as well as share your collection of challenge coins that you have acquired. The idea came from seeing numerous books of challenge coins at USOs at airports and realizing that while it is enjoyable to collect the coins, it's difficult to share your collection with others. Please provide feedback on how this app can be made better. Thank you.
