Firstly, I must apologise for posting this as a new thread but I can`t, for the life of me, find the origional thread. (Sir Ed, can you recall what thread this discussion was in?)
As discussed a good while ago, some of you showed an interest in aquiring a few coins for your pouches/purses. As promised, I have managed to purchase 100 blanks for my "Edward I penny" coin strike so I will be making a start on striking these coins soon.
Please let me know if any of you are still interested.
Cheers,
G.

I'll look for the thread. I'll bet it was a thread that started out discussing something else, and then meandered. :)

But yes, definitely still interested!

I am always interested in new "Faire Favors". Last year I handed out scallop shells with a slip that talked about their relationship to the Crusades. I've been wanting to do coins. Can you give a cost estimate for say- fifty coins? Prince Edward went of Crusade, so I could play that approach.  ;D
