Coin checking tradition began in Germany after WWI. American personnel who were stationed in Germany adopted the local ritual of “pfenning” checks, a pfenning was the lowest denomination of German currency. If a service member did not have a pfenning coin, they would have to buy the next round drinks. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Deana Heitzman/Released)
