The plate is 1/32" thick and the coin door itself is 1/16" thick. The length of the rivet is harder to tell because the top is drilled off but I'd have to say it is about 3/16".
I'd be interested in getting a dozen or maybe 2 dozen depending on what the cost is going to be. I'm doing 2 doors myself.

Hey Encryptor.
Can you give help me fill out the dimensions for B (Head Diamter), C (Head Height), and L (Length) according to this:
Seems these rivet people aren't very visual interpretors of my drawing...
Thanks!

Ok. Here is what I come up with for the dimensions you need.
B = 3/16"
C = 1/64" ??? This one is hard to get because the rivet head is not really flat. It is less than 1/32".
L = 5/32" - 3/16" Again hard to tell because some has been drilled off but 3/16" would be long enough for sure. The plate is 1/32" and the door itself is approx 1/16"
Hope this helps. If you need anything else let me know.

Thanks for this info!
The supplier is getting back to me on monday reguarding this 'special order' item. Apparently this rivet size is proving to be challenging to the hardware world. But, out of the email I did get something interesting:
There is a standard rule of thumb for determining the length of a solid rivet (to give you enough length for the material thickness + a little for crimping over the end of the rivet).
Rule of thumb = take 1.5 times the body diameter and add it to the material thickness, result being the rivet length.
So knowing this, I'll forge ahead with more emails, hopefully finding one person who hold the magic ticket.

Those imperial sizes are driving me nuts !!!! GO METRIC !
