hi there

i am in search for cheap coins. the manufacturer should be in europe (taxes and shipping).

they should be semi authentic. the only purpose they have is as a payment method at our semi-internal summer-event. we need at least 1000 pieces. we already considered cast pewter, knowing that its not authentic, but its good enough (1000 gold florins are a bit expensive *G*).

any good suggestions?

thanks
-Berny

I forgot to add that. They have a bunch of stuff on Ebay and you can always email them. I know that when you buy in bulk, the prices come way down.

The other nice thing is that their gold coins are plated with 18kt gold, silver plated with silver, etc. And they are all taken from the actual historical coins for the molds.

our current offer for cast pewter ones is Euro 0,50 / piece.

every cent counts if you buy 1000 to 1500 pieces

i hope we will find something cheaper, or something for the same price with better quality

thanks for the links!
