Custom Coin Keychains | Put Your Brand on a Coin People Use Every Day
Designed around the European shopping-trolley coin, so your brand gets seen in everyday use.
A coin keychain — also called a trolley coin keyring or shopping cart token holder — keeps a single token in the keychain body. When needed, users simply take out the token and use it for a shopping trolley or a coin-operated locker. Because it hangs on everyday keys and serves a real purpose, it is kept far longer than a purely decorative giveaway, and the logo on the token gets seen every time it is used.
Chung Jen introduced its original trolley coin keychain for European supermarkets in 1999. The classic teardrop design is still a popular choice for corporate buyers today. Our range now covers classic one-piece holders, special shapes, two-piece holders, magnetic holders, and models with a built-in bottle opener. Tokens are mainly made in the 1-euro size, with 0.5-euro and 1-pound sizes available on selected models.
Why choose Chung Jen for coin keychains?
- No mold fee on stock designs: Many stock bodies require no mold fee — just customize the token artwork or the logo on the body. Ideal for tight budgets or tight schedules.
- Body and token customized separately: Choose a plating color for the body (shiny nickel, satin nickel, black nickel, gold, gunmetal) or colored e-coating. The token can be cut out, color filled, laser engraved or digitally printed in full color (options vary by model). Pair one body with different token designs to build a full series.
- Help choosing the right holder: We compare holder types with you based on how the token is removed, your target market, and your budget.
- Applications:
- Corporate gifts: a useful item that does not end up in a drawer.
- Tourism and city souvenirs: shaped bodies with local-themed tokens, well suited to tourist destinations and the European market.
- Automotive and real estate: the key-shaped model leaves space below for cutting a real key.
- Restaurants and bars: the bottle-opener model uses the token as leverage to open bottles — a natural conversation starter.
- Weddings and themed events: heart-shaped and other designs make memorable event gifts.
Light, practical and used every day — a coin keychain is a straightforward way to bring your brand into your customers' daily routine.

Custom Coin Keychains FAQ
What is a coin keychain and what is it used for?
A coin keychain (also called a trolley coin keyring or shopping cart token holder) is a keychain that holds a single token. In Europe and other regions where coin-operated shopping trolleys are common, users take out the token and use it for a trolley or locker, with no need to carry spare change. The token can carry your logo, which makes it a popular corporate giveaway that combines everyday use with brand exposure.
What token sizes are available?
The standard token is 1-euro size (Ø 23.25 mm, 2.33 mm thick). Selected models also offer 0.5-euro and 1-pound sizes; available sizes depend on the model, so please check each product page. If your market needs a different diameter or thickness, we can evaluate the change. If the mold has to be adjusted, the cost will be quoted case by case — please contact our sales team.
What holder types are available, and how do I choose?
The main holder types are:
- Classic one-piece: the body holds the token directly. Simple structure and lower unit price, suited to large-volume promotional giveaways.
- Two-piece holder: a patented structure supports the token. Lift the token slightly and push aside the curved lower piece to remove it. The token is held more securely.
- Magnetic holder: a strong magnet holds an iron token. Press the top edge of the token to flip it out. Iron tokens are quick to produce and lower in cost.
- Multi-function: models with a bottle opener, spring hook or key shape, for brands that want the giveaway to do one more job.
Not sure which one fits? Tell us how it will be used and your budget, and we will recommend the best option.
What can be customized on the body and on the token?
The body and the token are handled as two separate parts:
- Body: plating in shiny nickel, satin nickel, black nickel, gold or gunmetal, or colored e-coating. On selected models, a logo can also be laser engraved or UV digitally printed on the body.
- Token: cut-out, color filling, laser engraving or full-color digital printing, depending on the design. Iron tokens for magnetic holders can be color filled, printed or fitted with a sticker insert.
Available plating colors and finishes vary by model — please refer to each product page or your quotation.
What is the difference between a stock design and a fully custom design? Is there a mold fee?
A stock design (ODM) uses an existing body, and you customize only the token artwork or the logo on the body. Many stock bodies require no mold fee, and development time is shorter. A fully custom design (OEM) starts from a new body shape and requires a mold fee. If budget or time is limited, we recommend starting with a stock design. Our sales team can compare both options for your quantity and requirements.
What is the minimum order quantity?
The MOQ is 500 pcs. The final quantity can be discussed with our sales team depending on the model and finish. If you would like to check the result first, you can start with a sample before deciding on the bulk quantity.
How long does it take from order to delivery?
It depends on whether you choose a stock design (ODM) or a fully custom design (OEM):
- Stock design (ODM): uses an existing body with no new mold. Lead time is about 15–40 days.
- Fully custom (OEM): after artwork approval, mold development time depends on design complexity. Once the mold is ready, sampling takes about 10–15 days. After sample approval, bulk production takes about 15–40 days.
These are general reference ranges. Our sales team will confirm the actual lead time based on your project (holder type, finish, quantity). If you are working to an event date, we recommend a stock design to skip mold development.
Can I see a sample before mass production?
Yes. We offer sampling so you can check the body plating color, the token artwork, and how the token goes in and comes out before mass production. Bulk production starts only after the sample is approved, which greatly reduces the risk of the final product differing from your expectations.
What information do you need for a quotation?
Please provide:
- Model number (e.g. CJ-20001) or preferred holder type
- Token size (1 euro, 0.5 euro, 1 pound or other)
- Body plating color
- Token finish (cut-out, color filling, laser engraving, full-color printing, etc.)

FAQ
After artwork approval, it takes about a week for sample and 3-4 weeks for production, plus the shipping time, then you can receive the goods. If it’s complex designed product or the purchase quantity is large, the production time needs to be re-confirmed. Please feel free to contact us if any query. We recommend you choose the standard
models to shorten the mold and proofing time and meet your urgent needs.

About Chung Jen International | Custom Promotional Gifts Since 1986
Chung Jen International Gift Co., Ltd. traces its roots to Chung Jen Badge Co., Ltd., founded in 1986 to produce copper and iron badges. In 1991 we introduced zinc alloy to promotional gifts, and in 1999 we set up an in-house R&D and design department, launching original products such as the Combined Movable Pin. Today our range centers on zinc alloy and extends to copper, iron, stainless steel, silicone, leather and fabric.
We help corporate buyers, event organizers, IP brands and institutions turn their ideas into custom keychains, pins and badges, medals, commemorative coins, trolley coin keychains, fashion accessories and mobile accessories. We have also supported a number of internationally recognized brands and major sporting events with commemorative merchandise. A dedicated project team handles every order from the first brief through sampling to bulk shipment, so you work with a single point of contact throughout.
