    Hi ladies,

    We are donating to charity in lieu of favors.  We would like to have 2 charities that guests can choose from and will deposit a token into.  Our MC will announce how much has been donated to each charity at the end of the evening.  However, I am looking for approximately 600 tokens and am having a hard time finding any.  They don't need to be great quality-- cardboard is fine-- think back to pogs or to the cardboard tokens found in games.... just something that will represent a coin/token for the MC to count at the end of the night.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy some or how to make some very cheaply?

    I found these "kindness coins" but the color scheme isn't exactly what we're going for; but they might work.  http://www.orientaltrading.com/kindness-coins-a2-39_1655-11-1.fltr?xsaleSku=39/1569

    OH.. what about getting a wooden dowel (thick 1-1.5") and have it sliced down into thin peices with a table saw? And then you can paint them how you see fit?
