Okay what are you guys using to drill your nice neat holes, how much will it cost to buy one and where do I get it?
Where are you guys buying your chain for the detail tag to be attached?
Also the lamination you use - what kind? where? how much?
I've decided to joing the hole coin gang becasue I am tired of them getting stolen and this will deter some folks. |

If I needed a chain, similar to the ones that come with the travel bug tags, I would go to Axe-Man. They have those silver beaded necklace style chains in bulk.
As for a laminator, I just got a cheap one that does photos from Wal-Mart. It's big enough to do small photos, business cards, etc. I strongly suggest a heat-based laminator, not one that uses two pieces of plastic and an adhesive, such as two rolls of clear contact paper.
For nice, neat holes, the best route would be a drill press.

Here is one of the nicest setups for geocoin travelers I have seen.
A little expensive I assume, but it should cut down on the muggles.

Ok, I have to ask:
Why are the coins sitting on a map of Poland and the Czech Republic?

Because TECGeoJim is a world traveller. 
I like his big tags and labels too!

I like the idea of those luggage tags. I'm going to try to use that.
For a bit more security, I bet you could just touch the keychain ring with an arc welder making it impossible to remove them. |
