Part of: Custom Metal Crafts B2B Sourcing Guide 2026 — the master reference covering all 9 product families (pins, coins, badges, bookmarks, bottle openers, keychains, medals, trophies, magnets) with sourcing decision framework, MOQ thresholds, and per-piece pricing across quantity tiers.
Why zinc alloy for souvenir coins?
Zinc alloy (Zamak 3 or Zamak 5) dominates the bulk souvenir coin market for three reasons: die-casting enables complex 3D relief at low tooling cost, the alloy accepts soft enamel + multi-color plating beautifully, and per-piece cost runs $1.40-$2.80 at 1,000 qty — vs $2.80-$4.50 for brass or $3.50-$5.50 for solid copper. Tourism boards, theme parks, museums, and event organizers who need 500-5,000 commemorative coins per program almost always default to zinc alloy.
Zinc alloy souvenir coins ship in standard 1.5″, 1.75″, and 2″ diameters with 3mm-4mm thickness. The weight (25-50g) feels substantial enough to convey value without inflating shipping cost. Soft enamel + electroplated rim creates the premium feel buyers associate with limited-edition challenge coins or collector tokens.
