For coins for practice and/or to use for scale in photographs I'd go to the bank. They'll 'sell' you them for the current exchange rate.

If you start having fun with Hobo Nickels then you'll want to get some 'good' coins but I'd look for an equivalent Dutch coin to use.

The key to making things from scrap is having some around. I keep anything fingernail sized or bigger. There are a lot of things to engrave that are that small or smaller so why not keep some 'practice plates' around?
