Coin replacement question and wish list for a collectable edition | In the Year of the Dragon

Does anyone know of a reasonably price distributor of metal coins to replace the ones that come with the game? I've been looking at some Feng Shui coins but they seem to be all brass in color--I haven't seen any silver color ones. If there was a collectable edition for this game my wish list would include the following:

* Metal coins
* Different artwork between the "experience workers" and the younger workers
* A board that will stay flat!

Any thoughts on this?

You could always use real coins. Just look for a currency with a good exchange rate and good looking coins. I have a sheet of thick vinyl that covers and protects my table, as well as anything I put beneath it.

I found mine on ebay, not to pricey. Somebody sells lots of 2 different sized coins, just perfect for ITYOTD, usually used for jewelry. Try searching Chinese or oriental coins (or such) on ebay.

I bought mine on ebay as well. They came direct from China surprisingly quickly and weren't too expensive. Try searching for good luck coins.

Even better, you can go for 100% authenticity

The main page says it's set in about 1000 CE, which Wikipedia tells me is the Nothern Song era. You can get coins from this era for pretty cheap online.

Here is one example: http://chinese-coins.auctivacommerce.com/100-Pieces-Chinese-... (100 coins for 34.95 USD + 12 USD shipping).
