8 Easy Steps to Create Your Custom Coin with Pinlordshop.com 💰✨

1. Prepare Your Design 🎨

To ensure the best quality, we recommend sending your design in AI or PNG format. We also accept PDF, PNG, or JPEG files. Don’t have a design? No worries!

• Can’t design your own artwork? We can help! Just sketch your idea on paper—it doesn’t have to be perfect. Our design team will convert your sketch into a professional digital design.
• Example: We’ve turned simple sketches into beautiful, custom coins for many clients.

---

2. Decide on the Coin Size 📏

Coins come in various sizes, but the standard size for most challenge coins is between 1.5" and 1.75". Here’s how to decide:

• 1.5" - 1.75": Perfect for shirts, jackets, bags, and other visible accessories.
• Larger Coins: Ideal for display pieces or those meant to make a bigger impact.
• Smaller Coins: Great for more subtle uses like hats and lanyards.

How to Decide: Consider how and where the coin will be used—larger coins make a statement, while smaller ones offer subtlety and versatility.

---

3. Choose the Coin’s Thickness ⚖️

A standard coin thickness is 3mm, but if you want your coin to feel sturdier and more valuable, you can increase the thickness to 4mm. This gives the coin more weight and a higher perceived value, making it a more meaningful gift or collectible.

• 3mm: Standard thickness, durable and versatile.
• 4mm: Heavier, sturdier, and more impressive—feels like a premium item.

---

4. Choose a Coin Type 🏅

There are various types of coins, each offering a unique aesthetic. Here’s a breakdown:

Soft Enamel Coins 🎨

• Textured Finish: The metal ridges create a textured design, with recessed areas filled with enamel paint.
• Popular for Challenge Coins: Often used for military or organizational coins.

Best for: Designs with multiple colors and a desire for texture.

Hard Enamel Coins 🌟

• Smooth Finish: Unlike soft enamel, the enamel and metal are level, giving a smooth, polished surface.
• Elegant and Durable: The smooth finish provides a more refined look.

Best for: Those wanting a sleek, smooth finish that’s durable.

Die-Struck Coins ⚒️

• No Enamel: These coins are all about the metal finish—no paint is used, and the design is created with raised and recessed areas of metal.
• Polished and Sandblasted: Typically, the raised areas are polished, while the recessed areas have a sandblasted finish.

Best for: People who prefer a metallic, traditional look without color.

3D Coins 🏗️

• Sculpted Design: These coins feature multiple levels of depth, with raised and recessed areas sculpted to create a 3D effect.
• Curved and Sloped: Corners and edges can be curved and sloped, adding dimension to your design.

Best for: Designs that require depth and sculpted details.

5. Choose Your Plating 🛠️

The plating adds the final touch to your coin’s appearance. Choose from several options to match your style:

Polished Plating ✨

• Reflective and Shiny: Available in gold, silver, and copper, polished plating creates a shiny, elegant finish.
• Professional Look: The high-gloss finish adds a premium look to your coin.

Best for: Coins that need to stand out and shine.

Antique Plating 🏺

• Non-Reflective: Ideal for intricate designs, antique plating gives a darker finish in recessed areas to highlight details.
• Aged Look: Available in gold, silver, copper, brass, and nickel, this plating gives a vintage, aged appearance.

Best for: Designs with lots of detail or those looking for a vintage feel.

Rainbow Plating 🌈

• Unique and Eye-Catching: Rainbow plating shifts colors when viewed from different angles, creating a stunning, dynamic effect.

Best for: Creative designs that want to stand out and add a unique twist.

---

6. Choose an Edge Finish 🌀

The edge finish of your coin adds an extra level of customization. Here are some popular options:

• Flat Edge: Simple and classic.
• Rope Edge: Adds a textured, decorative border.
• Scallop Edge: Creates a wavy, scalloped border for added detail.
• Crosscut, Spur, or Beveled Edges: All provide different levels of texture and visual interest.

How to Decide: If you want your coin to feel more premium, adding an edge finish is a great choice!

---

7. Choose a Surface Treatment 🎨

Customize your coin’s surface for a unique aesthetic. Here are a few options:

• Smooth: Clean, sleek, and polished.
• Mesh or Sandblasted: Adds texture to the recessed areas, creating a tactile feel.
• Brushed or Electro-Discharge: Offers a futuristic or old-world look, depending on the finish.

How to Decide: Surface treatments can elevate the design and give your coin a distinct, premium appearance.
