+GeoCoins.net Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 (edited) Here's a few places to have your geocoins made... metal coins about $4-$5 each (I think a min. of 100) http://www.militaryspecialties.com wooden coins about $.50 each http://geocoins.net metal coins http://www.kvcoins.com/ We are in the planning stages of a metal coin, but are having a hard time choosing our design. ($400 dollars is a lot of money!) Good luck! Edited July 6, 2005 by TeamAirik Quote

+ibycus Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Pressed Metals is a great place to have things done. They're the ones that did the Calgary Coins. Only thing is, due to the production process differences, the die costs are quite a bit more (typically about 200 Canadian/side), but then each coin is less, and the finished product is nicer IMHO.

+KirklandExplorers Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 (edited) I have been working with Aaron of D & R Specialities for our design for KirklandExplorers and I am very happy. He has a competitive bid and is doing a wonderful design! http://coinsandpins.com/coinmfg/Pricing%20...%20May%2005.htm Edited July 7, 2005 by KirklandExplorers Quote

+Haughton's Hunters Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 As you are stating prices, Geocoins.net is very inexpensive. Of course, they also sell wooden coins meant for trading or actually more of a signature item. Cost is only $0.50 per coin with orders in multiples of 10. They will also do custom coins with a one time setup charge of only $20.00. Then you can order as many as you want for the $0.50 each. All artwork is kept on file so if you order again later, there is no setup charge again. For the price, you really can't beat it. Quote
+EScout Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 Does anyone know who made the Texas coins? These are the bronze looking ones with the star and the GPSr. These are very nice and different than others I have seen. Quote
+Right Wing Wacko Posted July 8, 2005 Posted July 8, 2005 (edited) Dont forget the folks over at Wooden-Nickle.com I got 1000 NUMBERED custom wooden nickles and a stamp for less that $200. Leave off the numbering and stamp and you should be able to do 1000 coins for around $100. They also do smaller quantities Edited July 8, 2005 by Right Wing Wacko Quote

+Night Stalker Posted July 16, 2005 Posted July 16, 2005 The Idaho Coin was made in China and cost 5,000 for 1,000 coins if you had your geo name etched on it. Quote
+robert Posted July 17, 2005 Posted July 17, 2005 (edited) that's a lot of coinage! Edited July 17, 2005 by robert Quote
+GeoCoins.net Posted July 29, 2005 Author Posted July 29, 2005 That is a lot of coinage! Go figure. I am presonally suprised that people that purchase more than about 100 at once. That's a lot of ambition! http://www.geocoins.net Quote
+Ladycacher Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 All my coins are being done by Coinsforanything.com and they have a delivery time of 18 days from first day of production. After paying art fees to other companys they had the best design look, price, and customer service. It was worth losing the fees to some of the other companys. Quote
+joefrog Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I'm headed into the fray. So far, the best customer service I've seen has come from "coinsandpins.com". They've been quick to respond, and are actually coming in lower price-wise than almost all others. If anyone has had a different experience, I would like to know it! Quote
+Camp Explorer Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I made the mistake of sending Kvcoins money to get die artwork started on 8-1-05. I went with Kvcoins because they were the only ones to respond to my emails. I later found out that the others I had emailed were given a bad return email address for me. After two weeks Kvcoins has not returned one email (I have not called yet) On 8-8-05 I contacted CoinsAndPins and on 8-15-05 I got my first look at die artwork for my coin. Coinsandpins has been very responsive to all my emails from the start. Tom Quote
+f0t0m0m Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I have been very happy with the work done so far by coinsandpins.com. We recently approved the initial art work and they are currently in the process of creating the die artwork. They have been extremely helpful on all fronts of the project and have always been prompt about getting back to me. We are really excited about our coins, and can't wait to get them and start trading and placing them in caches. Quote

SCP-173 Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 Have any of the state coins been minted by coinsandpins.com? We (NY) are looking for a mint, and they look to be the cheapest overall and offer 6 digit alpha-numeric numbers (aka GC.com tracking numbers) for $0.45 per coin. What are some other coins that have been made by coinsandpins.com? Quote

Idaho. check the hard-to-see link on the left side of the coinsandpins.com home page. they profile the coin on it's own special page. Quote
+Langner91 Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 I find these coins fascinating. I have a question and this may not be the best place for it, but: Do you have to do anything special with/for/to GC.com to be able to track these custom coins? I see many people get them serial numbered. What is involved in that so that a person can track them? Quote

twjolson & Kay Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 Custom made coins can't be traced through GC.com, you have to make your own website and programming. Another option is wooden nickels, not as cool as metal, but a HECK of alot cheaper. I've giving "M&M Hunter" a try, his nickels look nice, and are cheaper then anything else I've come across. If I'm happy with the work and price, I'll post a follow up on this thread. Quote
