Custom made coins

Post by ayu »

Afternoon boys and girls.

I've been looking into creating custom coins (because it's cool) with my own custom logo.
I've found some local companies as well as a few overseas.
The local one has exactly what I want but is pretty pricey and doesn't sell for private use.
The overseas ones has the minimum diameter coin size of 1.5" which is too much.
I want my coins to be between 2.85 and 2.4 CM.

Does anyone have any suggestions for how to solve this?
Does anyone have a local company that can do what I want?
Designing and making the coins myself is probably not a good idea as it wouldn't turn out very nice then :P

Suggestions?

had a look on etsy already? imo the perfect place for that...just as example:
https://www.etsy.com/search?q=custom%20coin&ref=auto1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have bought a whole bunch of stuff on etsy already and the people on there, at least from my experience, are way more friendly than on ebay, so I am sure you can easily get 100% custom deals too if needed. maybe there are even sellers from your area...:D

Thanks for the tip buddy! :)

I looked through etsy and searched for many different similar things but came up empty handed :(.
My idea right now is to use a company (not the one I work at as I don't want them involved in this) to place the order locally since the local company I found seems really good.
Just need to ask around friends for someone with a company that is willing to do it x).

Other advices are still appreciated here though if anyone has any other idea : D

not sure if you have checked this one already:
http://www.theworldofcoins.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I have browsed their portfolio and there is at least one coin (gold one) with 28mm diameter, so the size should be no problem, and they seem to be highly professional..:D

no price examples though... :-k

P.S. oh wait: http://www.theworldofcoins.com/en/prices" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
