Instructions
Download, slice and print. The coins all have unsupported overhang on the bottom sides, but it usually prints cleaner without support.
To create new coins run:
$ coin_skel.pl a.svg b.svb > ab.scad
Then tune the scaling and offset variables in ab.scad. This uses inkscape and pstoedit to convert the SVG files into EPS and then DXF. tile.scad can be used to make plates of coins (or other things).
