The deets, briefly. 2 1/2" in diameter. Two layers of cardboard with a PP piece on the reverse and a collaged piece on the front. You can personalize the reverse if you're trading them.
Great thing about these puppies, you can use up your scraps. I used an acrylic paint gelli print for my BG to collage on. Added some black and white splatters to it. Stamped. Added washi. Added die cuts. Added some pops of color with a red Sharpie. Fun, fun, fun. TIP: Prep your coin. Create your collage on the BG and as the last step, die cut the finished circle from the BG and adhere it to the coin (I used a glue stick). Much easier than working directly on the round coin.
Here are the coins individually.

These look so fun!
I love your designs!
I don’t know if I’ll ever make any,
as free time is not in my life much
right now, between work, chores, family, etc.
I've seen these and I really like the idea - like the trading cards, but quirkier and smaller, like you say perfect for scraps. I LOVE the colours and it's brilliant for those gelli prints. I have quite a few lying around! xx
Fun and Fabulous way to use scraps and mixed media products. I LOVE all your Artist Trading Coins, Maria. Such fun projects. You have me inspired, my friend. Hugs..
