20 bags of gold chocolate coins

A friend from my sons nursery handed me a plastic bag the other day and in it were 20 bags of chocolate coins.
Apparently she had bought them all from boots when they were reduced to 5pence each!
Now, my other half is delighted as he now thinks he can just eat them all. But that is a bit boring. Can anyone think of inventive things to do with them? I could bake them into cakes but just wondered what other options I had other than eating them!

Easters coming very quickly!
Make up Easter 'goody bags' with a selection of a few chocolate coins, mini eggs and other easter treats - kids and adults alike will love them.
Alternatively use them as extras in Easter Egg hunts too....0 -
i saw some homemade christmas cards with chocolate coins glued to the front, you could make some easter themed ones maybe.
melt the chocolate down for cornflake, or rice crisp cakes
if your son's birthday is near you could have a pirate party (depending on age of course) make this http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/treasure-chest-cake/d636e050-8331-4e2d-97fd-6b29c792a2d80 -
Make some little cakes and decorate with a coin for an Easter fair. Call them Money cakes?The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)0
