Coin Cufflink

Cuff and Co Australia

The idea of the usage of coins for cufflinks, have been originated by the Australian company, Cuff and Co.

Cuff and Co Australia was founded after a bag full of old Australian Halfpennies was bought at a local garage store – this led to a feeling of nostalgia, and the decision was made to find a new purpose for these coins that served their country well long ago, and for such a long time as well. The idea of transforming them into elegant cufflinks for men and women, was the beginning of the business Cuff and Co Australia.

The idea of using the coins in such a way is really original. Each coin has its own story and therefore history behind it, as such responsible for the investment value of these items. Though not in use anymore, the coins used by Cuff and Co Australia for cufflinks, were all used as legal tender in the past. Each of these coins are also restored professionally – cleaned, buffed and polished by hand, in order to bring back their shine from the past. Apart from the restoring which is done, each coin is also covered with an electro-coating, to help keep the shine of the restored coin for a longer time.

On the website of Cuff and Co Australia, the exact information about each type of coin is given. This includes a short general history of the time during which the coin was produced, the material of which the coin is made, the diameter and the weight of the coin.

The coin cufflink adaptable to different outfits

The coin cufflink from Cuff and Co Australia are adaptable to basically any outfit. In contrast to this, the normal and traditional style of cufflink is usually less easily used for different kinds of outfits and attires. Gold plated cufflinks for example could be quite formal, while sterling silver cufflinks of certain designs, whether with inlaid stones or not, are as well less easily adaptable to different styles for different occasions.

The Coin cufflink helps preserve history

The coin cufflink is in general an ideal way of preserving old coins that would have ended up in the trash or in the cellar of the house anyway. The older certain coins become, the more they increase in value. Much history can be ‘read’ by inspecting old coins. For this reason, the collection of coins are so large in all the important museums worldwide. As form of payment in the roman times for example, the head of the ceasar at that time was usually depicted on the specific coin. In other cultures, other emblems and dates also contribute to their value when found after such a long time by archaeologists.

For this reason, the original idea of Cuff and Co Australia in their usage of old Australian coins for their cufflinks, is more than just a good idea regarding aesthetics, or marketing. It helps preserve history very effectively as well as being an ideal way of showing pride in the Australian history.
