Mmmm.... 36 steps including waiting for warm water to melt the chocolate plus 15-20 minutes in the fridge to cool. So far I haven't managed to get a decent embossing result either, and I'm actually rather capable so heaven help those who aren't. And when you've finished you can "bag `em" can you? Righty ho, but you'll be a long time filling a bag when you have to repeat every stage, including waiting for melting and cooling, two coins at a time. Doesn't sound like the great idea you thought this "machine" would be, does it? My recommendation is that you buy your children some nice superior, ready made chocolate coins from the shops and invest in a gift that is actually worthwhile. Oh, and you will be making your coins from silver kitchen foil sooner than you think, since the gold stuff supplied is only good for a handful. But it really saved my day to learn I could send off for more. I write facetiously because the marketing description for this "toy" seems to glibly gloss over its labour-intensive fiddliness and I feel people should be warned.

I was very worried about getting this after reading the reviews, but it was a toy that my little boy wanted really badly, so got it anyway.
I have to say I am glad I did.
I would higly recommend that you give up on the warm water melting method though (I think this must be what made everyone else give up completely) used it to melt 2 coins and it took about 10-15 mins then it wasn't warm enough to melt anymore. JUST MELT THE CHOCOLATE IN THE MICROWAVE!! Once metled they only take a few mins to harden in the freezer. Whilst they are in the freezer get your foil cut and then the coins are very easily covered in foil and I think the impressions with the stamper are pretty good too. I think the people who say they aren't must have left the coins in the freezer too long!!
My son is only 4 and a half and very active and he didn't lose intertest at all, in fact he was so proud of himself he didn't want to stop until there was no chocolate left!
But I should point out that I also bought the little extra box which contains 4 more moulds (plus other bits), so we were able to make 8 coins at a time! Which took about half an hour in total. Also I can't comment on the chocolate provided as I didn't have the original (out of date box, so reduced!) but I used chocolate buttons which worked great.
Yes there are 34 steps, but they are very broken down could be explained in about 10 steps!
Overall I would highly recommend as a great rainy day activity!

Once we realised how to get the temparature right for melting the chocolate, my daughter age 5 could produce quite a production line with little intervention from an adult. Her coins look and taste very good and she seems very happy with the whole kit. I agree that the manufacturers are a bit stingy with the gold foil, we will run out before we get to the end of the chocolate chips they supply.
