When Home Made Coins Aren't Counterfeit

( Make metal coins from your kitchen

 table without expensive coin presses

and other expensive coin making

equipment. Put coins on jewelry

to sell.)

A “counterfeit” coin is any coin intended to

deceive. A counterfeit coin in circulation is

intended to deceive, since its being passed

around as a genuine coin to common people

who would receive it in change. A numis-

matic counterfeit coin is intended to deceive

collectors.

Another word for each kind of counterfeit coin

is “forgery”.

A home made coin or reproduction or replica

is a coin created to not receive the ordinary

person. In fact, the U.S. is the only country

that  has a law specifically allowing

the word “copy” to be stamped on

coins to let people know the coins

are replicas. So, anytime you see the

the word “replica” or “copy” on a coin,

it is there to let you know that coin is a

reproduction of an original coin and

legal to own because its not intended

to fool anybody.

You may reproduce any coins from

the large eBay listings under world

coins in their replica category. Prices

are listed with each coin.

One of the excellent ways to sell your

replica coins is to attach them to jewelry.

You can make the jewelry, pay someone

else to make the jewelry or buy it from

an online wholesale jewelry dealer.

Coin jewelry for children is a good

niche market to get into. Just remember

when making children’s coin jewelry

stay away from the younger age groups

to avoid any choking hazards. Bead coin

jewelry can pose a danger for children if

the beads are detached. This applies to

loosely fitting coins also.

Another thing to consider is skin al-

lergies because children can be especially

susceptible to skin irritations.

The hobby of making coins for jewelry

is not a well known niche, but it is a

unique art idea.
