Dear All,
I am currently trying to source the coins that I need for my stage Misers Dream routine and I was hoping that some one out there could help me out. I am looking for about 20 chrome/polished blanks about the size of silver dollars. So does anyone know where I might find such a thing? Thanks, John

I use Norm Nielsen's Coins. They are very thin and light. They are the size of silver dollars. They are easy to manipulate. The average cost of each coin is $3.00. I buy mine from Orlando Magic.

I actually use the Nielson coins too. But, you can go to a harware store and get some blanks stampped out of sheetmetal the size of halves or silver dollars for much cheaper and they are much thinner too. The benefits are great...lightweight ultra thin coins with lots of flash. Go with the sheetmetal from the hardware store.

Thanks guys for the advice. I should be able to get the sheet metal coins done without any great problem.
Best Wishes, John

You might want to put some edging in the coins you make at the hardware store.
That was a tip I got from a Cellini Lecture.(Through Ring 129 in "Kansas City". Harris
