Printed out as shown with 20% gyroid infill. Sanded down afterwards. Prongs are made from small brass threads as shown with glued-on rubber tip (the smaller the rubber tip area, the better the sound). Fake coins emit a shorter “pong” like sound, real ones a long lasting “piiing” - Link: 

Recommended to use some ping tester app (e.g. https://apps.apple.com/in/app/precious-coin-tester/id1474466880)
