I have created several coin costumes. You dont have to be a jeweler, depending on what you are doing.
If you are using real coins, it helps to have a drill press. Also, knowing the proper way to open and close metal jump rings is helpful so you can use them to attach chain and dangle coins. Making a sturdy foundation is a must to support the weight also. Almost all beading magazines have basic instructions for doing the jump rings also.
