What determines the set-up cost for a coin?
The set-up fee is for manufacturing the mold that is used for minting the coins and is charged per side of a coin. For new coins a set-up fee for two (2) sides will apply. When changing one side of a coin, there will only be a fee for the (1) side that changes. Even the slightest change to a coin will necessitate in manufacturing a new mould for that side. For changing the size of a coin we will have to produce two new molds, one for each side.
What determines the cost for a coin?
Coin cost is determined by the size of the coin, coin type, additional finishes added to the coin and by the quantity ordered. Since there are many variables to a coin, please inquire with details on what you would like to see on your coin.
