Some metal tokens and coins are a special colour. Most non-gold and non-silver tokens are red in colour or have a red shine. In addition to copper, we offer a few special-colour alloys.
Copper is by far the best-known red-coloured alloy used for coins and tokens. However, copper is particularly prone to tarnishing, which gives coins an aged appearance. It is chosen for its antique look in board games and RPGs, as well as in vending and gaming machines, because of its unique conductivity. Plated copper is often used in vending machines.
Tin bronze is red-brown in colour. Due to its high copper content, tin bronze is just as prone to tarnishing as copper. Tin bronze is a rare alloy and, even though it is not solely produced for the coinage sector, it can be considered a secure material. For this reason, tin bronze tokens are mostly used for high-security vending applications.
Alloy 725 is pink-silver in colour. It is extremely resistant to temperature and climate fluctuations. It is also a rare and secure alloy, even though it is not produced solely for the coinage sector. Additionally, due to its unique colour and the difficulty of producing it, Alloy 725 is particularly popular for casino tokens, in both metal and bi-metal combinations.
