Custom Collector Coins as a Fundraiser

Why use custom collector coins as a fundraiser? People enjoy collecting coins as a form of art, and they have become an excellent way of depicting history or commemorating a special event.

Why not create a little history of your own? Here are how some organizations have used coins currently:

• Chambers of Commerce/ Historical Societies: create a series of coins featuring historical landmarks in the area.
• Churches: A gift for weddings or baptisms at the church. A great volunteer gift too!
• Schools can give a coin to the graduating class. Alumnae who donate a certain dollar amount or for their reunions. Or commemorate the closing of an old school and the dedication of the new one.

Any custom coin series you create will help in your fundraising efforts. To help showcase the coins, two display options are available as well: a single coin holder with easel and a wooden display plaque. This will allow the purchaser of the coins to proudly display them wherever they wish.

Creating a custom glass ball Christmas ornament.

 This type of ornament has been around forever and it isn’t going anywhere. One of the most popular styles of custom Christmas ornament is the glass ball and it can be customized any way you see fit.

First there is the 2-5/8” size. This is not the imprint area size, but the actual diameter of the ornament. The imprint area is 1-3/4” x 1-3/4”. The other size available is 3-1/4”. The imprint area on this size is 2” x 2” and allows for more detail on the image to show.

When considering doing these as a series for a fundraiser, it is best to sit down and brainstorm with a couple other people.  This will give you a feel for what others may want to see on an ornament and it takes the pressure off of you as the sole person in charge of the design. A few good examples for a series of ornaments are:
Churches: Doing the stained glass windows in the church. 1 or 2 ornaments a year depending on the number of windows available.
Chambers of commerce: Community events and original businesses from the early town days.
Historical Societies, Museums: Famous people from the community or state. 

When it comes down to the design, there are two ways this can be done. First is an artist rendering from a picture. It doesn’t matter how old the picture is. We can work with just about any image. Take a look below!

 Once the image is rendered, we will color it according to the amount of imprint colors that were paid for.  It is recommended that at least 2 colors are used for the front imprint as it will allow for a much richer looking image. If a full color image is desired, we can replicate the picture directly on the ornament using a 4 color process. Here is an example:
