The coin challenge is still alive and very popular in most regiments, both American and Canadian.

It got so bad at one point here at my current regiment, you had to shower with your current Regiments' coin, otherwise some wiseguy would slap his in front of your face as soon as you stepped out of the shower stall! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Needless to say, with a handy supply of duct tape, I made sure I ALWAYS had my coin on me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
