What are the coins made from?

We make the finest quality coins with either bronze or copper as the base metal. You can choose to plate this with gold, silver (though we don.t recommend this, as it tarnishes), nickel, copper, black nickel, antique gold, antique bronze, antique silver, antique nickel, antique copper, satin gold, satin silver, satin nickel, foggy painting gold, chrome or imitation rhodium. You can also choose to use two types of plating on one coin. Two-tone plating can be done on one or both sides and can be another means of adding contrast to a design that uses a lot of exposed metal.
