Is it true that the gold paint flakes off the coins?

I can't say for sure that it can't happen, but our daughter does light/moderate play with these and we haven't seen any gold paint flake off. If they get thrown around a ton and/or chewed on though then it may be a concern (though we haven't seen that either).

Not as far as I know, I sent mine back the day that I received it, the coins I got with it were plasitc

I haven't had that happen. The box is very cute and we bought more coins after some went missing. My 5 year old and 15 year old play look for buried treasure. My three year old daughter snags some for her purse lol but no we've not had any chipping and the hinges on the box after a year are fine as well. Hth

It's not a shiny gold....sort of just a beat up metal. Very neutral.....super cute, BTW. Everyone can't believe I spent this kind of money on it, but when they see it, they love it:)

I have had my pen for 2 months. I have no problem at all with the gold paint.

If it is more of a yellow gold.....I don't think so otherwise. Hope this helps.

I've had the set a couple of years. I put it in the dishwasher and the gold has not faded.

They have a waxy finish, so my best guess is that it would be similar to painting a traditional wax candle. I wonder if gilding wax would work? AMACO Rub 'n Buff Wax Metallic Finish, Gold Leaf, 0.5-Fluid Ounce

I do not think it labeled as a gold series. It is a nice piece, and my grandson loves it

it's not because of the gold paint .. it will arc in the microwave. i'm not certain, but i think i read that warning somewhere.

Yes. The coin slot does not turn completely and the gumball does not drop. Then the knob broke off, so we can't use it at all.

I have not used it for Gold so I 'm sorry I can't tell you the answer. My silver tarnished horribly until I used these bags tho and now they look like I just cleaned them after 6 months.

This is a special set so you have to take special care of them. You should hand wash them and and dry them so that the plated gold does not wear.

I broke mine while drilling the center out for a look forward camera. It tore apart the gold leaf metal inside the emblem.I removed the old metal and repainted it an orange metal flake over gold then white paint. Looks OK, but the orignal looks better.If you need a new one, I couldn't find any cheap. You may have to look around a bit.

Numismatists recommend not cleaning coins. If you clean them in this, they are going to bang together, as well as be scrubbed by media. If they are collectible, this will destroy much of their value. If they are not collectible, it's not really worth doing. However, if you want to clean small red metal items, use crushed walnut shells, available at pet stores cheaper than commercial media, and a tablespoon of metal polish.

No. It is not paint, but a gold metal. I enjoy the pen. It is over the top.

only jams if coins are not the same size as the us coins. i have had some coins just spit out that were not the same size like the quarter etc.

I'd say not so much gold, but otherwise yes. From far away everything looks muted. But there is definitely a range of colors in the pattern.

I thought the same thing but it is actually a cutout so you can slide the coins up for removal. So they are correct in the picture.
