Events have caused my coins to move to new homes three (3) times since 2005. I'm so sick of moving my coins. The last move took two trips.

The listings do say "RESTRIKE" in the small print...and you can order up to 30 sets at a time. Still, they should be plainly stamped "COPY".
Here's something I found that might be of general use. It's a site where you can enter any book (e.g. Any Coin Book), enter your Zip Code, then...
If you can find this book, it may have all your answers... [ATTACH] Btw, Mexican tokens seem to be referred to as "Municipal Tokens" or...
