About us

Gratitude, organized

An all-volunteer 501(c)(3) giving every American a tangible way to thank those who serve.

Our mission

Grateful American Coin's mission is to provide Americans a tangible way to display their gratitude to those who serve our country, while simultaneously assisting to meet the needs of men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces.

We sell military challenge 'Thank You' coins to be given to service members, veterans, and their families as a token of gratitude. We are supported entirely by volunteers, and net proceeds are donated to organizations serving veterans and military families.

The volunteers

Run by volunteers. All of it.

Nobody at Grateful American Coin takes a salary. These are the people who pack every box, answer every message, and hand-deliver the mission.
