   I think only a really powerful wizard/alchemist could make such a stone. There was only 1 in recent existence but was destroyed by Albus Dumbledore.
   
   My question is why can't normal things be transfigured into galleons? If Barty Crouch can transfigure a dead body into a single bone, why can't you turn a button into a galleon?
