Tarot Coins redone , budget priced metal coin deck

The Tarot Coins Redone is a full 78-piece set of metal coins designed as a budget-friendly alternative to traditional tarot decks. Created by Arthur Pittsley, a designer and manufacturer of pewter jewelry, this is the second iteration of his metal tarot coins, with a focus on reducing production costs while maintaining quality. The set includes all 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana, with suit symbols and imagery etched onto the surface of each coin.

Each coin features a distinct design that corresponds to a specific tarot card, drawing heavily from Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) symbolism. The imagery is simplified and presented in a minimalist, line-art style, making the coins suitable for quick identification and intuitive readings. The tactile nature of metal coins offers a different sensory experience compared to shuffling cards, appealing to those who prefer a more grounded, physical interaction with their divination tools.

The campaign successfully funded on Kickstarter in 2022, raising over $26,000 from nearly 500 backers. The coins are designed for everyday carry, emphasizing portability and durability. While no specific material is mentioned for the coins themselves, the creator's background in pewter manufacturing suggests a similar metal-based approach. The set aims to provide a unique, long-lasting divination tool for both seasoned tarot readers and those new to the practice.

This deck is ideal for tarot readers seeking a durable, portable, and unique divination tool that deviates from traditional card formats. It appeals to individuals who appreciate minimalist design and tactile experiences, as well as those interested in collecting unusual or travel-friendly tarot sets. Its RWS-inspired symbolism makes it accessible to both beginners familiar with the system and experienced readers looking for a fresh approach.
