Hey guys, I'm starting a game here in the next week or so, but am having a tiny bit of problems with some of my props... Mostly my gold coins. I first tried using Loonies (Canadian Currency) because of the bronze coating, but I have yet to make them shiny enough. I was wondering if others have tried / Succeeded in making gold coins. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do they sell chocolate coins wrapped in gold in your area? Or would that be too rust-monster for you?
As a Canadian, I have seen some very shiny loonies, but they're usually new ones. Maybe go to a Canadian bank and ask for a roll of Loonies?

hmm, yea the chocolate gold coins were another thought, but I was really looking for the metal variety. Yea I might be able to find some in the banks and or post office (If they have coin sets or individuals)
Thanks a bunch

I bought a bunch of washers at the hardware store for my game, didn't paint them or anything though. Granted it's not a very good trade off money wise, Usually just using pennies and nickels (or the equivilant) has a better ratio of anything you could buy.

That’s true, buying things like washers had crossed my mind as well but ultimately did not pan out for me. Change (Pennies, Nickels, Dimes, etc...) is always a good choice, I was just trying to get the 'feel' for real gold.
Thanks for the Input

Just take the loonies and spray them with gloss sealer...
If you really want to go all out, get some gold paint at the local hobby or craft shop, paint them, and then spray them with gloss sealer.
(There's a very slight chance they might not work in a candy or soda machine anymore, but if you're using them for gold coins you're probably not going to be spending them anyway.)

I've used the gold chocolate coins before. Of course I was a complete dick about it and subtracted gold from the players for every coin they ate during game lol.
