Coasters Today

Today coasters are usually used to put under the drink rather than over it. Thus they can be reused time and time again without fear of contamination of one’s drink. Coasters also come in various more durable materials like glass, metal and leather. These of course are equally valued as collectors’ items and are often used in the manufacture of souvenirs from various countries and places.

Glass coasters may come as empty frames in which one can place a picture of one’s choice. Leather and metal coasters are embossed with beautiful and imaginative designs that can vary from popular landmarks to floral patterns and geometric designs. They are also made more interesting by the variety of shapes and sizes in which they are available.
