>>9722One of the plans, actually! For now I am sticking to pendants, but I definitely want to make a few coins. I've talked to my brother about making 'coin cards' so to speak, where you put your business on them.
>>9730Musket balls seems likely. Lead is definitely soft enough you could hammer it down like that.
A ball'd be easily smashable with some split firewood, and you could even give the marks using just about any other small bit of metal.
Might have to make some fake ones some time as a 'historic' option.
