yea I guess I didn't check online stores :P Looks like they have a decent selection too :D I thought about doing that too if I ever did use chocolate coins! :P
Just for the record, the coins you get (from Campaign Coins) are a lot smaller than you may think but at the same time, they're very, very, very cool. The price is arguably not worth it for how little use you'll get out of them and by no means do I mean to paint them as a rip-off as the cost of production is very high, but then again, this isn't something you buy expecting to get a lot of use out of; you buy them 'cause they're just so damned awesome

You could check at a big bank and see if they can get you some Euro coins. Many of them are gold colored.

I checked at the bank yesterday and they said "We Don't offer change" only bills apparently. If I want to get some coins, I would have to check out a currancey converter. lol :P but yea coins from around the world are neat Still have some from my last Japan trip.

Yea they look sweet :D It's cool because I never really thought about how different money would look until I left North America for the first time.
Thank you everyone for your help

I realize this is an ancient post but seeing as I haven't been able to find anything good on the topic via google so I figure I'd share my idea. Let me first say that I've been looking for something to use as currency props for my game for a long time now but as I wanted to avoid using plastic coins that feels all wrong I had great troubles finding an affordable solution untill this totally obvious notion hit me.. I'm a plumber by profession so I had to slap myself for not realizing how coin-like this tool is immediatly and I use these every single day while working. I don't have a good translation for the object "Mutter Skive" (I think it's a "Rivnut Puller"), but I'll provide a picture to show what I'm talking about. This item is cheap and every hardware store has zillions of these in their shelves. I bought thousands of these in four different sizes and appropriate metallic sprays to match copper, silver, gold and platina. For the platina coins I picked a square one to have them stand out as platina is really rare in my games. My DM treasure chest now holds thousands of coins spraypainted the appropriate colors and it looks great and realistic. The faces of my players when I first introduced them were priceless. "As you rumnage through the corpses belongingsyou reach into the bag and pull out this;"(Reaches under table and slaps a pouch of coinsonto the table)The players loved dividing the loot this way, and it's now alot of fun haggling for prices with actual coins.  You can get these in lots of different dimensions. It's important to note that thisis just a pic I quickly found on the net and you can get these with much smallercenter holes so as to be a much better representation of a traditional coin.
