Anyone know where I can get some small plastic or metal Roman/Greek coins? I need them to represent "Talents in the Treasury" for my ancients game. Thanks |

Westair Reproductions I think they are called -most museums sell them .. |

I'd also be interested in this; replica coins seem to be relatively expensive in the UK. I have bought coins from eBay for 50p or so each. It is also possible to import replica coins from China, but I'm a bit concerned about whether there might be issues with customs. |

Yes I think my coins came from Westair. |

I must confess I have used chocolate coins for this purpose due to their much cheaper cost. The downside is that some players have then eaten the coins rather than retained them for their game purpose … I like chocolate more than I care about winning … in fact quite annoying at the time but funny in hindsight … Photocopying, laminating and cutting out is the cheapest approach and is pretty good for small coins but, yes, chunkier, cheap plastic replicas would be great … Phil
