Okay lemme' tell you straight off that I would buy these! I usually couldn't care less about item cards or little glass gems or that kinda' stuff, but real replica coins from the setting I love? Oh you better believe I would be so totally there. Heh.
Great idea.

Any chance of a collaboration between Paizo and King of the Castle Games to make Golarion currency?
I love the campaign coins and I love the new Paizo campaign world, so Golarion campaign coins would blow my mind.
We have talked about it. Unfortunately, we don't have the artwork for Golarion coins yet. Once we have that artwork ready, I would bet that we might see some Golarion coins from them. :)

Really? ...Wow!
It's like Christmas around here lately! Now all I need to do is wait for the Golarion Campaign Setting and Bestiary to come out. Heh-heh-heh!

Wow... I don't even know what to say, except thank you and you guys are awesome. I can't wait to see (and buy) the coins.
Honestly, it takes all the fun out of posting customer requests here if you anticipate every single one of them ;-).
Just kidding. Paizo rocks, period.
Great news. My group loves using the campaign coins. My biggest hope for next year was seeing King of the Castle Games at GenCon with an all-new design for their coins. Golarion coins would be perfect.

If I might make one suggestion, though, from an execution standpoint:
Could you try to use your artwork, but the existing coin sizing, denominations, and (perhaps most importantly) color coatings? Ideally, even the placement of the numbers should be close or the same, and all that changes is the style/nature of the non-numeric, non-color design.
As an existing owner of these coins, the last thing I want to start seeing is each campaign world with its own systems, so that I can't mix and match the coins on the tabletop. At sixty bucks a pop they are worth it, but FAR from a bargain, and if I have to own a set for each campaign world then suddenly it's just ludicrous. "Well, I have $300 dollars worth of campaign coins, but I can only use XX of them at a time, because these are Greyhawk coins, and these are Iron Heroes coins, and these are Forgotten Realms coins...etc" - - coins specific to your campaign world is a cool way to benefit the customer, but making them realm specific approaches gouging.
I'm not sure they were talking about completely changing the coin system.** They were just talking about puting Golarion artwork on them instead of the usual/generic one. I'm pretty sure Golarion has the usual copper-silver-gold-platinum system.
**And I'm not sure what change they could do that would not allow you to use them in another world? Even if they decide that silver is worth more than gold, that would have no impact on the usefulness of the coins you already own. Nothing short of completely changing the metal/color they are made off would change anything for you.
Now we just need temporary tattoos...

Heh...my sister-in-law wants to go to DragonCon next year dressed as Seoni. That would make her costume a lot easier than the henna. :)
