Custom coin
ordering FAQ.

Start with C-Creation Coins. Share the purpose, design or idea, quantity, destination and required date. We coordinate specifications, artwork, samples, production, inspection, packaging and delivery.

Service recognition, anniversaries, schools, clubs, fundraising, numbered collections, museums, sports events and merchandise. Choose the recipient and occasion before deciding the wording and presentation.

Yes. Individuals, businesses, clubs and organizations can order from 1 piece. You must own or have permission to use submitted artwork and logos.

The coin minimum is 1 piece, including custom 999 Silver. Tooling and setup still apply; larger quantities usually spread these costs across more coins. Packaging has its own minimum.

Yes, from 1 piece. A single coin still incurs applicable tooling and project charges. Send dimensions and artwork for a quotation based on the daily silver price.

Reference coin unit prices for 100 coins: Zinc Alloy, 30–60 mm (1.18–2.36 inches), US$0.90–3.80; 999 Copper / Brass, 20–65 mm (0.79–2.56 inches), US$0.99–8.00. Silver requires a current quote. These June 2026 reference ranges exclude moulds, packaging, freight and taxes. See the itemized budget below.

Send artwork or an idea, quantity, dimensions, material, finish, packaging, destination and deadline. Coin moulds, packaging and shipping are separate. Production design files, 3D images and revisions are free. Double-sided designs, custom packaging and rush service may add charges.

June 2026 reference fees: 20–65 mm coins, US$60–300; oversized 65–200 mm coins, US$300–1,500. Confirm the fee at the 65 mm boundary. Moulds are stored free for two years; unchanged reorders using the stored mould do not incur a new mould fee unless revised specifications require tooling. Provide your previous order reference.

For orders exceeding 5,000 pieces, the mould fee can generally be credited against the order, subject to the specific agreement. Confirm eligibility in the quotation; this is not an automatic cash refund.

After order confirmation and payment of the mould fee, 2–3 free approval samples are provided without an additional sample fee. Sampling takes 7 working days after production design approval. Sample shipping follows the quotation and is not automatically free.

Wise, Western Union, T/T bank transfer and Alipay are available. Full payment is required before production. Confirm currency, amount and instructions on the quotation or invoice. Approval of production design files starts mould making, after which cancellation is not available.

Yes. Different front and back artwork is possible and incurs an additional charge based on the approved artwork and production specification. The quotation identifies the applicable charge.

No. Packaging is quoted separately from the reference coin price. Velvet and wood box reference prices include an insert, clear acrylic capsule and logo processing; applicable cutting dies and logo plates are additional. Freight and taxes are excluded.

Define the purpose, recipient and message. Plan both faces, exact text, approximate size, shape, thickness, relief, material, finish, edge and packaging. Send references and approve the production files before manufacturing.

Editable AI, EPS, SVG or vector PDF is preferred. High-resolution JPG, PNG, PSD, photographs, sketches and references can also be reviewed. Include both sides, exact wording and color references; we assess any redrawing needed.

Yes, with the relevant image rights. Send the highest-resolution original. UV printing is generally suited to photographs and gradients; simplified shapes may suit enamel or relief. Final size, resolution, contrast and detail are reviewed in the proof and sample.

Provide Pantone references or approved brand values and mark the relevant areas. Screens, color cards and metal can differ. Production files establish the intended colors; the physical sample confirms the appearance before bulk production.

Zinc Alloy supports complex cast shapes and deep relief. Brass and 999 Copper suit substantial traditional struck designs. 999 Silver should be specified by weight as well as dimensions. Titanium Alloy needs grade and process review. Material samples for purity testing can be provided on request.

Reference ranges: Zinc Alloy 30–60 mm (1.18–2.36 inches); 999 Copper or Brass 20–65 mm (0.79–2.56 inches). Oversized designs can measure 65–200 mm (2.56–7.87 inches). For irregular outlines provide width and height. Millimetres govern; inch equivalents are approximate.

Yes, 65–200 mm designs can be reviewed. June 2026 reference mould fees are US$300–1,500 depending on size and design. Confirm the exact fee at 65 mm, where standard and oversized ranges meet.

Pure copper or bronze can have relief up to 3 mm (approximately 0.12 inch); Zinc Alloy up to 7 mm (approximately 0.28 inch), subject to design review. Relief affects price and is separate from overall thickness. Confirm feasibility for the approved design.

Yes, these concepts can be reviewed. Cut-outs, unusual outlines and moving parts need sufficient structural strength and suitable packaging. Agree function and construction on the sample before bulk production.

Standard, rope, leaf, cross-cut, spur, oblique-line and bezel-style patterns, lettering or numbering can be reviewed alongside the displayed Reeded Edge option. Feasibility depends on thickness, shape and finish; tight corners can limit patterns. Confirm the location and profile in the production artwork.

Names, dates, sequential numbers and QR codes can be evaluated for the selected production route. Supply a final data list and confirm placement, orientation and proofing. Test QR readability at actual size on the selected finish.

Yes. We can provide a planning template or guided specification sheet. You can begin with a logo, sketch, picture or written idea. We help organize both faces, text, colors, relief, finish, edge and variable data into production artwork for approval.

Default packaging is an OPP bag. Custom options include clear acrylic capsules or cases, flocked or velvet presentation boxes, wood boxes and other agreed formats. Confirm dimensions, branding and fit. Packaging is additional to the reference coin price.

Around 3 mm (0.12 inch) is a common starting point; 3.5 mm (0.14 inch) and 4 mm (0.16 inch) are other planning options. Material, relief, edge, desired weight and shipping cost determine suitability. Relief height is a separate dimension.

Yes, from 1 piece. Send the design, dimensions and quantity. Samples for material purity testing can be provided on request. Silver pricing follows a daily quotation.

Yes. Provide dimensions, artwork, finish and quantity. Samples for material purity testing can be provided on request. Copper-colored plating describes appearance and does not identify the underlying metal.

These effects can be reviewed. Mark the intended areas and confirm artwork and finish compatibility. Assess the approved sample under the intended viewing conditions.

UV printing applies ink cured with ultraviolet light to a prepared coin surface. It can reproduce gradients, photos and multicolor graphics and combine with relief or plating. It is a printed layer rather than enamel fill. Confirm fine detail and critical colors on a sample.

The design determines whether coins are struck, minted or cast. Production involves artwork, tooling, forming, surface preparation, finishing, coloring or engraving, any required assembly, inspection and packing.

Struck or minted routes suit traditional relief; die-cast Zinc Alloy supports complex forms. Soft enamel gives recessed color, hard enamel a smoother surface, and UV printing handles gradients and photographs. We assess material, relief, finish, quantity, budget and timing together.

Coins are made in China through production partners matched to the approved material and process. Our Foshan team coordinates artwork, sampling, manufacturing, inspection, packaging and international delivery.

Weight depends on material, dimensions, relief, cut-outs and components. For conventional coins around 3 mm thick, rough references are 38.1 mm: about 28 g / 1 oz; 44.45 mm: about 28–43 g / 1–1.5 oz; 50.8 mm or larger: about 43 g / 1.5 oz or more. These are planning estimates; confirm the design-specific weight and sample.

Compare the coin with the approved artwork and sample: text clarity, dimensions, alignment, relief, edge safety, finish, color, function, variable data, packaging and count. Recessed soft enamel and smooth hard enamel should be judged against their intended processes.

We can review durable finishes, compliant production routes, right-sized packaging, reduced plastic, recyclable paper components, reusable boxes and consolidated shipping. Provide the environmental standard, restricted-substance requirement or documentation needed; availability is assessed for the project.

We reply within 12 hours and provide a first design draft within 24 hours, counting working-day time only. Sampling takes 7 working days after production design approval; bulk production takes 15 working days after sample approval. Shipping and import processing are additional. Confirm the project schedule in your quotation.

Sampling takes 7 working days after production design file approval. After order confirmation and mould fee payment, 2–3 free samples are provided without an additional sample fee. Shipping is agreed separately.

Bulk production takes 15 working days after sample approval. The June 2026 rush reference is 10 working days from sample approval with a 20% surcharge on the total order amount, excluding sampling and shipping. Confirm the current schedule and price.

Yes. After order confirmation and mould fee payment, 2–3 free samples are provided, normally within 7 working days of production design approval. Review dimensions, relief, color and finish before approving the 15-working-day bulk production stage.

The June 2026 reference is 10 working days for rush bulk production from sample approval, with a surcharge of 20% of the total order amount. Sampling, shipping and import processing are separate. If sampling is skipped, confirm the production start date with us. Current pricing and feasibility require quotation.

Yes. Shipping is quoted by destination, packed weight and volume, schedule and available service. Provide the country and postal code. Freight, estimated transit and any tax handling are agreed in the quotation; destination rules govern taxes.

Cancellation after payment is possible before mould making begins; refund bank charges are borne by the customer. Approving the production design starts mould making, after which cancellation is unavailable. Inspect within 3 days of receipt and report issues; otherwise goods are considered accepted as conforming. For major defects or batch defects affecting more than 10% of the order, a remake or discount may be negotiated. Send the order reference, affected quantity and photos or video for review.

Yes. C-Creation Coins can review a customer-provided NDA. Its terms must be discussed and mutually agreed before signing. Tell us about the NDA requirement in your inquiry and exchange confidential artwork after the agreement is signed.

Customer project designs, finished-coin photographs and case details are published only with prior permission. A production order or inquiry does not itself authorize publication in the Gallery, social media or promotional materials.

Production partners involved in the project undertake equivalent confidentiality obligations. Project information is shared only as needed for the agreed work, within the confidentiality arrangements established for the project.

No. Confidentiality and intellectual-property ownership are separate. Existing customer materials, newly created artwork, source files, moulds and any exclusive rights should be addressed in the project agreement. An NDA does not automatically transfer ownership.

Contact us with the project reference to discuss return, deletion or retention of project files. The applicable NDA, project agreement and any necessary records determine the arrangements. Mould storage is a separate matter and should be agreed alongside the existing two-year mould-storage policy.
