news:vic5fr$11l5i$1@dont-email.me...But I was thinking of using coins for blanks. Here in the UK post 1946
75/25 cupronickel florins are about 20p each in 1,000 lots - pre 1920
92% (sterling) silver ones can be had for about £11, 1920 to 50% silver
ones are about £5.
Florins are old pre-decimal currency, once worth 2/- (2 shillings) or
10p. 28mm diameter, weigh 11.3 grams. There are also the slightly larger
half-crowns.
You would have to anneal the cupronickel ones.
I don't know whether the US has anything similar. Or Canada, or Mexico...

US currency has been decimal from the beginning. Canada changed from British to US denominations in the middle 1800's.
