On low-gloss standard poker-sized cards, these double-sided colour cards include 111 total cards for 1gc, 5gc, 10gc, 50gc, 100gc, 500gc, 1000gc, 1sp, 5sp, 10sp, 50sp, 100sp, 500sp, 1000sp, along with a few larger denominations (5,000,10,000, and even 50,000, 100,000, 500,000, and 1,000,000 of each just in case you really need to build that dragon's horde!)

You can use gold coins (gc) and silver coins (sp) as alternate currency unit, different currencies, use either the gold or the silver as your default currency unit, have them both be the same value, or whatever your setting needs.

Of course, if science-fiction is more your thing, there's already a Credit Chip Card Deck!

I love props. But have the following concerns;
- For a fantasy setting, I prefer coins not cards. Cards break immersion for me and I wouldn't consider them.
- Durability, how are they going to wear and survive?
- The annoyance of having to keep them with the character sheet between sessions, or having to re-distribute them at the start of the next session
- running out, who wants only have of there hoard/bankroll in props and the other half on paper or IOUs :)

Good luck with these.

I think your first concern somewhat obviates the other three. :)

I have a few sets of fantasy coin sets but players keeping up with them between sessions is worse than cards and more expensive for props. I have a few small sacks of coins on stand by for the thief that is going to pick pocket someone but the cards will make keeping track of coinage (to me at least) easier than coins.

order 2 sets, should be in via priority mail in time for the next session!

Not the intent. I do play non-fantasy games and isn't that NEW?

I can't say that I've experienced any problems with any of those issues (I've used variations of in game currency for decades, and love it), but what bothers you probably isn't the same things which bother me. :)

The ones on the NEW cards do (they are in something called Cauldron Cant). I don't think the ones on the OLD cards do though.

I haven't tried to translate it, but you can see that the runes on top of the gold coin cards is partly different than on the silver coin cards, so they probably translate to something.

Go to a craft store and buy a few bags of colored glass 'stones', like the kind you see in flower vases. For $5 a bag, you've created your own denominations, e.g.:
Amber= 1gp
Green = 10gp
Red = 50gp
White = 100gp
Black = 500gp
Clear/iridescent = 1000gp
etc.

Keep a few spare dice bags handy, or buy some organza wedding treat bags at the craft store, or make some pouches if you're crafty. Load them with the appropriate loot (20 amber and 1 green for tier one, for example), and throw them out to the players after they search the corpses.

Then mess with the exchange rates as they move from city to city :) . "Jade?!? Those are worthless in these parts, mate. Everyone knows that jade stones are cursed...".

Another option I've used: buy lots of Mardi Gras doubloons (search for 'Mardi Gras pounds' on Ebay). For about $20, you'll get 3 pounds of aluminium doubloons of different shapes, colors, and designs. That's roughly 300 coins. I've sorted out the silver and gold coins and used them as props in a treasure chest jewelry box. I've also used coins of different colors as markers (bardic inspiration, DM inspiration, failed death saves, etc.).
