Author Topic: decide to make my own coins Mike Mercier Member Member # 821 posted 12-07-2006 07:36 PM                   This is in response to an earlier topic I wrote about Italian coins. I decided to make my own coins. It was much cheaper. I got a blank die milled out and engraved them myself. So far, I have made about 70 coins. On one side it says in Italian "defending freedom" and the other it says "school of the sword" They are all stamped in pewter. I made a couple in silver and a couple in brass. I'm not rich enough to afford gold.

Master brian de Caffa. If you're after resources/ideas etc I would suggest tracking him down. -------------------- Gwynfor www.gwynfor.org/daysofknights Registered: Apr 2006  |  IP: Logged Gwen Member Member # 126 posted 04-14-2007 03:36 PM                   REAL NAMES PLEASE.
