<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1155560, member: 15445&quot;]I&#039;ll get you some information when I have more time.&nbsp; For right now, here are a couple bits of data for you:</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a reason that most coins in the World are round.&nbsp; They are easier to manufacture.&nbsp; You can make a round hole for the coin to fit into quite easily.&nbsp; It is far more difficult to drill a multi-sided hole.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look into the compositions used by the USA and other countries.&nbsp; There are precious metals like gold &amp; silver.&nbsp; There are modern alloys like copper-nickel, copper coated zinc, sandwich clad (also copper-nickel).&nbsp; Also you could check into the bi-metal coins (coins made from two different alloys which are pressed together like a doughnut &amp; a donut-hole).&nbsp; These bi-metal coins are desirable for anti-counterfeiting &amp; because they are more expensive to melt down because they require additional refining to separate the parts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Will your coins be based upon base 10 or base 12 counting system?&nbsp; You can divide 12 by 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 for fractional coins.&nbsp; In base 10 you can only divide by 1, 2, and 5 for fractional pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll try to get back to you soon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
