Barbados Sam Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I'm looking for a good source for small dubloon copies in gold and / or silver to hand out to kids at Ren Faires. I found them at a local pirate swag shop for 75 cents each, but I was hoping to find a better deal with a quantity purchase. Don't want the cheap plastic coins. On a related note, I'd also be interested in finding someone to press very simple coins with my name or something on them that would be a more personal hand-out. Any help would be appreciated. :) "There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them. We frittered them away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize... the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men....Compelled by greed we were, and now we are consumed by it."
JoshuaRed Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Hi Sam! I got a nice big pile of metal coins from deadmentellnotales.com, lasted me a whole year, handing them out at various places. They only costed a smidgeon more than the junky plastic ones, and they really light up people's faces, especially kids! I got a bunch of assorted sizes, from doubloons, eight reals, shillings,etc.
HarborMaster Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Well if you are after a custom coin., thats a bit more spendy . Tokens Direct At .07 with a minimum order of 5000 and custom art work your about a k for starters..., This something we have been debating for the resort. Good advertisement and can be good for a soda or what have you. These people do alot for Mardi-Gras Krewes. I am not Lost .,I am Exploring.

Barbados Sam Posted January 23, 2006 Author Posted January 23, 2006 Thank ye lads. Both links were very helpful "There be the chest, inside be the gold, we took them all. Spent them and traded them.

hurricane Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Our own site, Pyrates of the Coast, sells all the same coins as Dead Men Tell No Tales plus others for less than DMTNT.

blackjohn Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 Cha-ching! I'll take one of each Hurricane! Those are really neat. My Home on the Web The Pirate Brethren Gallery Dreams are the glue that holds reality together.
hurricane Posted January 23, 2006 Posted January 23, 2006 I particularly like the antiqued ones as well as the ones that match certain cities and periods. They each have a history of the coin included. -- Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

Rumba Rue Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 That's fine if you just want to buy some for yourself, but as Sam said, looking for bunch that could be handed out to kids that wouldn't cost very much. Yup those plastic coins suck.
Pirate Petee Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Diego has a bag of them, you might want to ask him where he got his.
hurricane Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 We hand them out to the kids. Compared to the cost of a pin, the coins are pretty cheap. Beads are much less expensive, but the kids actually keep the coins... - Hurricane -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.
