MINNEAPOLIS PUBLIC SCHOOL CHALLENGE COINS
The popular press occasionally discusses a "challenge coin" issued by local municipalities. The coins are rarely illustrated, but here's one from a Minneapolis school district. Thanks for an E-Sylum reader for pointing this out.

Superintendent Bernadeia Johnson has created a small token of appreciation that she's calling the "superintendent's coin." She's giving it both to distinguished guests and everyday employees who make extra efforts. She dropped two coins on people in rapid succession earlier this month. Education Secretary Arne Duncan got his during a South High School appearance, the morning after Johnson gave another to Hashim Yonis at her Somali community forum and supper. The supe has also presented coins to mentor Carol Johnson, now superintendent of Boston schools, and to school nurse Cynthia Hillyer, for increasing screening of preschoolers.
