The other option would be to seek out a coin that came with a hole in it to begin with. I have a 5 peseta piece hanging on the keychain with my work keys - came from among loose change left over from my first work trip to Spanish territory, back in 2000 (obviously before the Euro kicked in). That coin had a hole in the middle of it. I also remember as a child having an old (late Empire era) Indian coin that was minted with a hole in the middle - some Japanese coins still do, I believe. If you found one of those in a gold colour, it should be a fairly simple matter to get it onto the end of a chain?
ETA - ah, I see you have a coin picked out. Is it a modern production? If it's recent and its value comprises the statement it makes rather than any real monetary value, I'd be tempted just to drill it. Simple, and I'd have more faith in it holding than anything involving soldering, etc.
