How do you make a coin?

The design is something we do at no charge provided our company gets the exclusive rights to any relative production. The I.P (Intellectual Property) or copyright is shared between the customer and ourselves. Neither party can use the art without the permission of the other. Should the customer wish to purchase the art from us (to use completely at their own discretion) a price can be negotiated for the purchase, and the copyright relinquished.

Once a design is decided upon, dies must be made. The cost varies depending upon the complexity of the design. This is an up front cost and requires payment in full prior to the production of samples.

Upon completion of the die, a pre-production sample (PPS) is provided to you to ensure that all aspects are correct and to your liking. 

This process (from receipt of payment to delivery of sample) normally takes about 20 production days. 

Foundry minimum order quantity (MOQ) is 100 coins. Re-orders can be any quantity as small as 50 pieces. 

Production from approved PPS takes about 30 working days. 

The higher the quantity ordered, the lower the per unit price. The per unit cost varies depending on the complexity. Once we determine the design of your coin, we will get a firm quotation from our foundry prior to any financial committment.

Coins can be engraved with names, numbers, or sequential numbering.

This service is provided by the foundry at no charge. If done locally, the average cost per coin for setup and engraving is about $10 per.
