A. The Challenge is initiated by drawing your coin, holding it in the air buy whatever means possible and state, scream, or otherwise verbally acknowledge that you are initiating a coin check. Another, but less vocal method is too firmly place it on the bar, table or floor (this action produces an audible noise which can be easily heard by those being challenged, but try not to leave a permanent imprint). If you accidentally drop you coin and it makes an audible sound upon impact, then have just "accidentally" initiated a coin check. (This is called paying the price for improper care of your coin.)
B. The response consists or all those persons being challenged drawing their coin in like manner (other organization commemorative coins are invalid). You must produce the coin provided by your company or organization.
C. IF you are ever challenged and are unable to properly respond you must buy a round of drinks for the challenger and the group being challenged.
D. IF everyone being challenged responds in the correct manner, the challenger must buy a round of drinks for everyone challenged.
E. Failure to buy a round is a despicable crime and will require challenger to suffer a penalty - as determined by your company/organization.
