OK, no problem, Ches and Lavina wanted to be in charge and I haven't heard 
from Lavina since last week....

For 800 tokens? Sure

Sounds very labor intensive

For the number of tokens we need, several would probably be a good guess ;)

Ches had an idea for making coins out of copper sort of like the ATYC 
tokens.

I would be surprised if the nail had deteriorated at all except for a bit of 
rust.

>So what do people think??????????????

Ches could explain her idea...... And/or Lavina as well......
