  I created a test expansion set of the tiles in a pdf format. I based the size of the tiles on the printable piecepack. The coins fit nicely and the hexagons can easily be placed next to the square tiles for some strange board combinations if so desired. I didn't put on the symbols for two reasons.
  1) I don't know which side would be better.
  2) I don't have the graphics currently in my computer. I could download the gifs from the internet and do it that way. But then I'm stuck at problem 1 again.

  Oh yea here is the address for the pdf.
