Best place to source tokens?

I'm looking for tokens for my game room are there any recommended places for getting them cheap? Years ago I was using 2 drachma coins and I was thinking of doing something similar this time but so far I haven't found anyone that sells something like that so custom tokens would be my next choice.

'Custom' and 'cheap' don't exist in the same universe when it comes to tokens.
Custom? Tokensdirect.com. that's where I get mine.
Cheap? eBay lots of used tokens.
In the middle, see my signature. :-)

Not to sound too ignorant but why not just use coins? We keep a jar of quarters, ready to go and it seems to work pretty well.

I have small pile of used ones if you're interested.

The $5 price is pretty much for the hassle of shipping them.
Pick them up locally or buy something else and I'll give them to you for free.

Go to a Dave and Busters or Chuck E Cheese where you can get a token for 25 cents. Done.

Chuck-e-Cheese has coupons for 125 tokens for $25 (

) - and you can always take them in and use them if you don't need that many.

You can get .984 (25mm) tokens on eBay for ~$30-$40/500. Silver tokens are cheaper, brass is more expensive.
I like buying mixed lots. I've got something like 2000+ tokens now thanks to my Pachislo machines and token mechs in everything.
