Halloween Treasure: Coins for Costumes, Parties, and Bad Moods
Halloween is the one night a year when everyone gets to be a legend. Pirates, witches, monsters, and at least one clown nobody asked for. The costume does most of the work, but the small details are what people remember.
That is where a good coin comes in. Here are a few ways to put Mythical Mint to work this Halloween, whether you are dressing up, throwing the party, or just handing out the candy.
Upgrade a pirate costume with real metal loot
A pirate is one of the most popular costumes every year, and most of them stop at the hat and the eye patch. Real treasure is what finishes the look. A plastic coin clicks. A metal one clinks.
Our Pirate Coins are solid die-cast metal with skull and ship designs and an antique gold finish. Each 5-pack comes in a black velvet bag that doubles as a loot pouch, so you can tie it to a belt and jingle your way down the street. Cosplayers and tabletop gamers have been using them as props for years, and it shows up in our reviews.
- Finish the costume. Clip the velvet bag to your belt and keep a coin in hand for photos.
- Run a treasure hunt. Hide the coins around the yard for a kids’ Halloween party, with a prize for whoever finds the skull side first.
- Pay the best costume. Hand a coin to the best-dressed pirate at your door. Pieces of eight, the old-fashioned way.
The party favor for grown-ups: the B.S.C. Coin
If there is a coin made for October, it is this one. One side of the B.S.C. Coin is calm and peaceful. The other side is a wild-haired, wide-eyed banshee mid-scream. Fits right in next to the jack-o’-lanterns.
Use it to settle the big Halloween questions. Who answers the door, who hands out the full-size bars, and who has to clean up the fake cobwebs on November 1st. Flip it and accept your fate.
- Costume contest prize. Funnier than a gift card and it lasts longer.
- Host gift. Bring one to the party instead of another bag of candy corn.
- Witch costume accessory. Keep the banshee side facing out. Nobody will ask twice.
For witches, fortune tellers, and crystal-ball readers
The Mystical Power Coin pairs the Hand of Hamsa with the Pentagram on a heavy 1.5 inch coin. Drop it on the table next to a deck of tarot cards and your fortune teller costume suddenly looks like it has a history. After Halloween it goes right back to being a daily reminder of your own strength, which is what it was designed for in the first place.
Order early, the 31st comes fast
Halloween always sneaks up. If you want coins in hand for a costume or a party, order a little early so they arrive with time to spare.
And if your coin makes it into a costume, share it with #MythicalMint. We love seeing where our coins end up, especially on Halloween.
