No
I don't carry coins and never liked the coin challenge thing. But that doesn't mean others shouldn't. Just don't expect me to buy a round on a challenge. I do have tons of them, though, to include the SOG PUC coin I earned the right to carry around. I'm proud of the coins I have from the units I was in and display "gift" ones along with my earned ones.
No, RTs don't have their own coins because the coin thing was not around in those days. In my recollection, the first time in my 26 years in SF that I saw or knew about coins was in the 70s when I was in the 10th. I was against the whole thing then. In fact, Bing Allar, my Hvy Wpns man gave me his so that I would have one. I guess he was embarrassed that his Tm Sgt wouldn't buy his own.
That said, were I you, I would display them prominently and not carry them. I wonder that they must not have meant much to your 1-0 friend or you must have meant quite a bit to him for him to turn them over.
