I ordered for my daughter’s baby shower. She and her husband loved loved loved them. They were just perfect. And for once the chocolate in these coins are delicious. My grand girls were so excited when they saw them. I know that they will be a big hit when we pass them out at the shower. The online ordering process was easy and the delivery and service was great. Would highly recommend them.

Foiled again fulfilled a large order of several thousand coins to hand out at our airport. The logo looks great and we thanked passengers on the flip side. It’s very legible. I had a proof the same day I submitted the order and did not have to wait long on the shipment. All coins arrived beautifully and properly packaged (to Florida without incident!) I’ve had several people ask where I got the coins and I’ve been happy to share the company website. I would be willing to order again in the future for other expo events. GREAT job!

I ordered personalized coins for my up coming wedding in April. The wedding party has loved the favor idea (we’ll be putting them in mystery blocks from Super Mario). The design I chose had the names in lowercase letters and didn’t realize it until I got the proof picture in my email. I asked if our names could be capitalized and they did it very quickly and even capitalized the date so it flowed better. We had some left after we filled favor boxes so we tried them. They taste amazing! They aren’t the cheap waxy coins you get at the store for Christmas. It’s been tough keeping my hands off the favor boxes. I have already recommended Foiled Again to another friend who was recently engaged!

I’ve never come across a gold coin when the chocolate was actually delicious! I had to remove them from my desk so I didn’t eat them all before the party! LOVE that you can choose you’re own design. Tons of compliments on the coin at the event! Will definitely purchase again.

If there were 10 starts instead of 5, that is how I would rate your chocolate coins. This is the 2nd year we purchased them for our tax season clients because last year they were such a big hit. Everyone raved that the chocolate is the best they ever tasted! This year we chose 3 colors, red, silver and blue and they look very patriotic! Perfect for an income tax office. Thanks for making such a wonderful product and for such a prompt delivery.

Everyone loves the coins! Thank you so much, these will be great for the 50th anniversary of my parents. Thank you very much for all your help.
Why Chocolate Coins on St. Nicholas Day?
St. Nicholas Day is a holiday that celebrates the historical St. Nicholas, the early Christian saint who served as a significant inspiration for Santa Claus, known in England as Father Christmas. The traditions associated with this holiday, which takes place on December 6, hearken back to the tales of Nicholas’s time as Bishop of Myra during the late third and early fourth century.
One of the most famous legends surrounding him involved his intervening in the life of three young women who wanted to be married. They had no money for dowries, so he decided to provide them with the money they needed. However, his modesty prevented him from giving the money to them directly. Instead, he tossed small bags of gold coins in through the window. It is from this tale that the modern day tradition of leaving chocolate coins comes from.
While Christmas is a time of lavish gift-giving, St. Nicholas Day is associated with more modest gifts. Children put out shoes or boots in the anticipation of awaking to find them filled with goodies from St. Nicholas. The gifts usually include chocolate coins, as well as real coins and other treats and small toys. It is a simple holiday that is celebrated with joy by young children throughout the world.
The day is celebrated differently in cultures throughout the world, though chocolate coins and other small gifts being placed in boots and shoes is a common element. Because of St. Nicholas’s association with unmarried women, there are several traditions that involve women who wish to get married. For instance, there is one that requires such women to attend morning mass on St. Nicholas Day and circle a column seven times in hopes that this will help her to find a husband. In some place, it is common to give gifts to women preparing for marriage on St. Nicholas Day.
Some of the traditions associated with the day aren’t quite as cheery. The krampus is a frightful creature with horns on his head who is said to emerge on St. Nicholas Day in order to punish children who have behaved badly throughout the year. One European city has a parade each year in which krampuses flood the streets and chase people, only to be driven off by St. Nicholas in a chariot laden with toys. It’s little wonder this gentle saint is so beloved by people all around the world!

I ordered 1000 coins for our friend’s 90th birthday bash. They were beautiful and the chocolate was excellent. I would order again without hesitation! Thanks, I am so glad that I discovered your company!

Repeat customer! Quality of chocolate is excellent and packaging got the coins here chilled and on time! My Jack Skellington coins will be a big hit this Halloween! Thanks again and I will be back!

Ordered 500 coins for my wedding reception and everyone loved them! I had a slight address snag because, as the bride, I was scatterbrained, but with a quick e-mail to them, they corrected where the order was going and we got them, no problem! Should I ever need chocolate coins again, I’ll be back!
Michelle Goodman
Excellent product, excellent customer service. Despite the heat outside, the coins arrived in great shape. They were delicious (really good quality chocolate) and very well received at the party. Thank you!

Writing to say THANK YOU! for the great product, delivered well ahead of time for my son’s wedding. The dark chocolate mint flavor was a big hit and were being horded and traded by the end of the evening. They had no idea I was getting the coins but the Mario Brothers video game theme they’d chosen for their dinner screamed out for the Mario Coins. I cannot say enough nice things about your great product and service.
