chuckr30 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I've seen what look like custom geocoins (non-trackable) that people leave in some caches. How do I design my own coin, what company makes them, and how much do they cost? I would only want about 10. I've seen coins around $5 each, and min quantities of 250. Are there other manufacturers who do small runs? Quote Link to comment
+WCNUT & TATER Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I don't know of any coin company that runs small quantities. Good Luck in your search. Have you tried coinsandpins.com? Quote Link to comment
+StarBrand Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 100 is the smallest run I know of. $2.50 each - Add to that the setup fees and the price goes up to like $4 each. Sorry - best I have seen. kvcoins.com Quote Link to comment
+Cornerstone4 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Your thread may be re-directed before I can actually post this... But all of your questions can be answered in this forum HERE. And, if you can get to So Cal in 2.5 weeks, there is a national geocoin festival where many of the vendors will be in attendance to answer any questions you may have! Quote Link to comment

+Kealia Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I don't know of any company that will do less than 100 coins, but they may go as low as 50. BUT, you need to pay for artwork (some places) + die fees + per coin fees + shipping. Because of the shipping and die fees, it's best to do large runs to spread the cost of the coins out. You may want to think about doing something like wooden nickels, etc. In any case, check the pinned topics at the top of these boards and you can contact the coin makers from the list up there.

If you'd like to keep your costs low look into pathtags. Their starter kit is priced nicely for 25 tags. They make very nice little signature items! Good Luck Quote Link to comment
