				<title>Digital Coin Forge (Custom Coin Maker) to do Shells/Bullets/Ammo</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi Everyone. You might know (or not) that I am running a kickstarter for a neat little thing called the Digital Coin Forge that allows you quickly and easily print tens of thousands of different coins at home: but there is a new twist being added that you may be very interested in. The gist is that I am adding not just coins - but Shell casing tokens and bullet chits to the Forge available in a boxed Ammo Crate. One of the backers and I are discussing how to go about it: here is an excerpt of my reply detailing possible options. As I understand it, there are very few places to get bullet tokens, so this could be a good opportunity for you to weigh in as there are custom options available to get your own tokens/coins designed how you like. Alright, here is what the options are:<br /> <br /> A2: Frankly I love the idea of an Ammo Crate and cylinders - and I think there is definitely room and time in the campaign to put something together.<br /> Here is how I see it: there are three design choices to go with or a combination:<br /> (1) Rectangles could be fashioned into Handgun clips or TNT blocks, Entire Boxes of Rounds or Top-down Shotgun Shell Casings and bullets such as .22 and .303 etc so whole cartridges are visible. Players could reload by placing the required new rounds onto templates during play.<br /> (2) Round coins in sizes 1.25"/1"/0.75" and 0.5" can be used to illustrate the bullet end-on from the back so you can see the Primer / strike-point with markings and size indicating the shell type.<br /> (3) Round coins in 1.25" and Rectangles in 2x1" can be fashioned into open Cyclinder, Open "X-Ray" Clips or Shot Shells or Double Barrels of a Shotgun can be EMPTY and onto which can be placed coins from concept (2).<br /> We might also consider having casings that can be reversed after use to show a spent cartridge by being blackened and having a cross through them for instance.<br /> <br /> On the reverse side can be Power Numbers/Assigned Values as you say - and since these fall under Denomination - I can add these freely so backers can ensure they suit the purpose required. I can make up some basic colour schemes for markers for these - and if something more is required backers can buy the Custom design for $5 per coin or use their exclusive pledge freebies.<br /> <br /> If backers choose the denomination rather than me making set values - this makes the DCF infinitely more valuable. Given that the DCF can make tokens, coins, poker chips, markers of thousands of varieties I see no reason not to expand into shells and bullets as an add-on.<br /> <br /> You spoke about the physical handling of such tokens -while I cannot custom design a means to encase the bullets in a specifically designed carrier I can suggest using a scrabble type shelf to make them visible and easy to change over and manipulate. If I think of any other means I can offer besides small flat boards/mats with graphics for placing the tokens on - I will let you know.<br /> <br /> As for creating a AMMO CRATE for the box - not a problem, I will make that possible<br /> <br /> If interested, please let other Wargamers know and you can also check out the campaign here:  <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gametilewarehouse/digital-coin-forge-design-print-rpg-coins-on-your" target="_new" rel="nofollow">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gametilewarehouse/digital-coin-forge-design-print-<span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(345);'>rpg</span>-coins-on-your</a><br /> <br /> <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(442);'>PS</span> - I have some of my Terrain available as digital downloads now, here: <a href="https://game-tile-warehouse.myshopify.com/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">https://game-tile-warehouse.myshopify.com/</a><br /> A set of specifically military meanders with battle of Normandy, Russian Steppe, Afghanistan, Carrier etc are coming in 2017.<br /> <br /> Kind Regards,<br /> Kris]]></description>
