Let's try to figure out what souvenir coins are. This type of product is most often in demand when it is necessary to make a gift, a present.
Souvenir coins can be quite different from the original coins and have significant inconsistencies, including unusual inscriptions COPY, COPY, REPLICA, etc. This type of coins is usually fiction and their appearance can only be determined by the customer's imagination. However, souvenirs, as a rule, have a spectacular, shiny, beautiful appearance, and the quality is close to the PROOF standard (coins of improved minting). Such souvenir products are sold only in special protective plastic capsules.

Unlike souvenir coins, copy coins have a closer external resemblance to real coins. They should not have unusual inscriptions and coins should repeat the original as much as possible. The production of such analogs is carried out by the method of embossing and casting. For such coins, the maximum similarity to the originals is very important.

Perhaps you have a question - "Why are they close?", "Why can't the coins correspond 100% to the original?"

We answer - "Even the highest quality copy has a lot of differences in the eyes of a professional expert."

Many manufacturers openly declare that their copies cannot be indistinguishable from the originals and that the similarity is 100%. I would doubt these words ... It is possible to make the maximum similarity, it is possible to observe the basic parameters (weight, edge, diameter, etc.), but to make a 100% original that will pass the examination is not.

Numismatics is quite well studied and serious experts always have ways to distinguish the original from the copies. Specialists are armed with samples for comparison, spectral analysis, study of patina layers, analysis of metal for impurities, etc. All this practically leaves no chance to give out souvenir coins or copies of coins for the original.

And yet, copies of coins are in demand and there are more and more people collecting copies. After all, not all those who are interested in this topic have the skills of an expert, I would even say that good experts are known by their names and there are not so many of them. Therefore, when replenishing your collection you have an interesting copy of a copy of a coin, it may well take a temporary or permanent place with the originals until you have a better copy. And it's okay if the collection contains a souvenir of a rare (unattainable in its original design) coin.
And believe me, having spent several years with the originals, copies can be estimated many times more expensive.

An example of an exclusive

Naturally, if a collector has enough funds for originals, then undoubtedly there is no need for copies, but there have always been copies and everyone, sooner or later, one way or another, uses copies.
The opinion of many lovers of numismatics - to replenish their own collection of copies of coins is very worthy and interesting material. With the naked eye, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish them from the originals, and a large beautiful collection of rare coins, even some of which will be copies, you must agree, warms the soul of every numismatist.
It is for such purposes that we offer our copies of coins.

We can offer coins that we have in stock or custom-made items.

Sample coin

Making souvenirs or copies of coins is not an easy process that requires detailed discussion. It can be very difficult to enforce any clear standards. Therefore, we adhere to the fact that the production of coins is usually an individual process and requires preliminary discussion.

As a rule, the total cost of minting coins consists of the cost of the stamp (from $ 500 or more) + the cost of the edge strip, if a edge is needed (from $ 500 or more) + the cost of making 1 coin (from $ 1 or more) + the cost of the workshop (negotiable) + possible costs (by situation).
It is not hard to assume that more coins minted will significantly reduce costs.

To calculate the cost, you need to inform us -

1. The desired number of products;

2. A photo of a sample or a drawing specifying the tolerances of deviations and options in detail (in order to significantly reduce the cost of the project, we will check the presence or absence of a stamp and a gurtile strip, if the stamp and a gurtile strip are available, then the cost may significantly decrease);

3. Registration of the herd (standard - smooth, ribbed or more complex);

Minting coins - a serious business, or just another "scam"?

Minting coins, or to be more precise (so that you don’t think that I am suggesting that you compete with the Central Bank of Russia), minting souvenir coins - is it possible to turn this business idea into a source of solid, and most importantly, stable income? What do you think?

Business brief analysis:
Business setup costs:60,000 - 90,000 rubles
Relevant for cities with population: from 70,000
Industry situation:the entertainment industry is developed
Complexity of business organization: 1/5
Payback: 2-4 months

At first glance, projects of this kind often look like "one-day", and even outright "scam". But while some are looking for better ideas or sitting in thought about the moral principles of business, others have turned the making of souvenir coins into a lucrative business. Many entrepreneurs across the country have proven that you can make great money from the souvenir trade!

Wedding coins

Souvenir coins can be minted at weddings, and the names of the newlyweds and wedding symbols can be depicted on them. This idea can be adopted by wedding agencies, or companies involved in the design of the holidays.

Memorable souvenir + company advertisement

The company logo can be minted on the coins. As an example, I can cite one restaurant owner who installed special equipment for minting coins in his establishment. For a small symbolic fee, anyone can mint a coin with the restaurant's logo for themselves.

There is no end to the guests "warmed up" with strong drinks. Not only is a very “immodest” amount “running up” as a result of this “modest” payment by the end of the working day, but the owner also receives free advertising for his restaurant. It is simply a pity for many of the visitors to throw away a coin made with their own hands, and therefore it is safely stored somewhere in the pocket of the purse. And at every opportunity it is shown to friends and acquaintances.

Such "know-how" can be introduced by the owners of catering establishments, hotels and hotels, amusement parks, etc.

Creative "business cards"

Souvenir coins can act as business cards. On which the contact details of the company will be minted. In one of my past publications, I talked about how you can organize a business for the production of exclusive and creative business cards. You can only come up with something more original than a business card-coin if you try very hard. Visitors can play with the situation of handing such a "business card" in different ways.

One of the options may look something like this: equipment for minting souvenir coins can be placed near the exit, and, seeing off the visitor, you need to offer him fun for the sake of hitting the anvil with a hammer (or do it yourself), and - wow! Here it is - a ready-made business card for your company. It is unlikely that someone will get rid of such a "gift".

But most often, the manufacture of coins is still used as attractions.

Attractions for minting souvenir coins

St. Petersburg, Yaroslavl, Murom, Nizhny Novgorod, Altai resorts, many cities in Karelia - this is just an incomplete list of those cities that I was lucky enough to visit, and where I personally saw (and even took part) in such attractions. I even have a small collection of souvenir coins from various regions of Russia.

Almost everywhere, minting of coins is presented in the form of a colorful performance - a show in which any passer-by is invited to participate. This is the basis of a delicate psychological calculation of the business - the more gambling the offer is, the more there will be those who want to receive their "prize". People, seeing the crowd around the attraction, will definitely come up and take an interest in what is happening, some of them will want to take part.

The production of souvenir coins is a mobile business, this is its undoubted advantage. It doesn't "go" in one place, after 20-30 minutes you can try on another, after another half an hour - on the third. Where can such spectacles be held?

  • in city parks
  • in the squares
  • in entertainment and shopping malls
  • just at crowded intersections

After gaining some work experience and making the first profit, you can think about opening another point where minting of coins will be offered.

The Coin Attraction company in Altai, over 6 years of its activity, has turned from 2 mobile points where coins were produced using only 3 cliches, into one of the largest enterprises in the country in this area, offering its services for the acquisition of franchises (read about the franchise in detail at this link -), equipment for attractions and cliche production, etc. - everything that may be needed at the "start" of a business.

Equipment for the manufacture of souvenir coins

Equipment and tools for organizing the minting of coins can be purchased from companies that manufacture them. Demand gave rise to supply, and now, in order to get contacts of such organizations, it is enough just to type in any search engine the phrase: "Buy equipment for the production of souvenir coins."

By the way, his list is small, and includes only a few items:

  • anvil
  • sledgehammer
  • special mounts
  • cliché for minting
  • and blanks for coins made of copper or aluminum (as an option, you can consider using blanks made of silver)

The last point is the most troublesome. To work for a long time with one or two designs of coins will not work - it will quickly become boring for the visitors of the attraction. Therefore, from time to time it will be necessary to change the design of the cliche for the manufacture of coins with a different minting pattern.

The production of cliches can be ordered "on the side", or, by purchasing additional simple equipment, you can make them yourself. To do this, you will need:

  • mini press
  • and stamp for minting

A preliminary sketch of each embossing pattern is drawn, which, after approval, is converted into a vector image, after which engraving is performed on unhardened metal (you can learn more about laser engraving on metal), then the matrix is ​​heat hardened and polished.

As you can see, the process is quite painstaking, but, nevertheless, it is quite accessible for a novice entrepreneur. After 1-2 trial runs of cliche production, this process will no longer be difficult for you. However, I repeat - you can order the production of cliché coins in third-party companies, since there are a lot of them now.

By the way, having mastered the skills of making cliches, you can provide yourself with additional income offering its services in the development of design for coins to those who are just taking their first steps in this business, or who prefer to use "purchased" blanks.

Few numbers

How much will it cost to organize a business, and how much income can it bring?

The purchase of equipment will have to spend from 50 to 85 thousand rubles. The purchase of equipment for the production of cliches will add another 100-150 thousand rubles to the costs. Meanwhile, an order for the production of one cliche will cost you within 1 thousand rubles.

The price of blanks today looks like this:

  • copper blank - 30-35 rubles (depending on thickness, diameter, polishing, presence of edge (inscription on the edge), and ear)
  • aluminum - 18-22 rubles
  • brass - 32-36 rubles

Prices for ready-made coins vary widely, it also depends on the parameters of the coins, the minting pattern on them, and the “greed” of the owner of the attraction. For example, in Nizhny Novgorod souvenir coins cost from 150 to 300 rubles, and in St. Petersburg - from 150 to 700 rubles.

By the way, in the USA the minting of coins by hand a few years ago was replaced by the use of vending machines (read about the vending business here -), on which you can make a souvenir coin for yourself. In the States, this idea is very popular. Will it take root in our country, we'll see ... In any case, you can always return to the more familiar hammer and anvil ...

Cost for 1 piece.
