Any cheap gold coins to fill a john wick inspired poker chip tray?

[PaulieWalnuts]

I was wanting to have a whole poker tray of john wick coins like they're stored in the movie. I got some good replicas off ebay for about $20 each, but I'm not looking to spend $2000 to fill a whole poker tray. So I was thinking of just using the john wick coins at the front/back and filling the center with something cheap. Any one know of any cheap (preferably metal) coins where at least the edges look gold?

These (if you have prime) are 10 "coins" for $22.19 or only $2.22 a "coin".

Thanks, I didn't even think of using washers, but those would be too small as the John wick coins I have are 38mm. Based on your idea I tried to find washers that were that size but couldn't :/

Currently I got some copper coins that are the correct size from a precious metal dealer yesterday for $.80 each. Going to experiment to see if I can find a decent way to get the edges to look gold

A lot of special effects crews use plastic coins in movies, albeit some wont be close up and cameras can work wonders but you might get lucky with the finish on some..

What about finding the right shape first then spray painting the edges of the things you use the color you want? This way you can use washers and paint them gold.

You did your math wrong. 1.5 inches (the washers) is 38.1mm with the .1mm being completely indistinguishable, so the washers are the same size as your 38mm coins.

DIY at home brass plating. There are YouTube videos using batteries or an old, low voltage, low amp ac adapter.

You're right, I mistook the "washer size" for being the diameter, but I checked again and they are indeed 1.5"
