Hello guys.
I am in need of a person who will make a few coins for my micro-nation for me. I need for the person to do everything except make the coin images, that I can do. I have heard of a few people on here who have these abilities and I would like their help.
Now for some info on the coins:
2 Para - Aluminum
5 Para - Aluminum
10 Para - Copper
25 Para - Copper
1/2 Krone - 1/2 Oz silver
1 Krone - 1 Oz Silver
Now for some info on the country itself:
The Confederacy of Kurundje is a confederation of two uninhabited Islands off of the coast of former Yugoslavia. The country unites the two warring peoples of Serbia and Croatia under one country. The name in Croatian: Konfederacija Kurundje.
Thanks guys,
Mark

I suppose it depends on what you want your coins to look like. If you want them to look like modern coins, someone like Mr. Carr is probably your best bet (though I'm not sure if he does small coins).
If you're after more of a mediaeval/renaissance feel, try tmaring.
Otherwise, you might try a local token/medal makers. Do a Google search for "medal manufacturer".

Hmmmm, I guess if we knew the OP's address we could refer him to a metal stamping factory?

Dies are the tricky bit... top quality dies cost money. If someone is trying to start a micro-nation currency I always recommend that they start with one coin. Yes you can have a whole series planned... but you need something to get your feet wet and see if this is going to work for you. And it should be a small coin. You can work your way up to big if you want to later.
The denomination distribution seems odd. If we assume 100 para to the krone, and one krone = 1 troy oz of silver, then the small 2 para coin is equivalent to 60 cents, Which is too large to be the smallest circulating coin. You're going to need fractional para coins at the bottom end. And aluminum is just a mistake for a fantasy coin... there's no point in using it just because it's cheap... the savings is meaningless at the scale of production you'd be talking about. Stick with copper, brass, silver etc... real metals.
Here's a revised sequence that might work better:
1/4 para small copper
1/2 para medium copper
1 Para - small brass
5 Para - medium brass
10 Para - 1/10 oz silver
25 Para - 1/4 oz silver
1/2 Krone - 1/2 Oz silver
1 Krone - 1 Oz Silver
The first three should be the physically smallest ones the 1/4 para copper, the 1 para brass, and 10 para silver. Then you'd pick one of those to be the guinea pig. Or... you could be tricky and make those three all the same diameter, so you'd only need four separate dies to make three coins (one obverse and three reverse) Realistically, the largest denominations may remain hypothetical forever, they may never be actually made unless there is an unusually large amount of interest in your micronation.
