First City Coins Grind (Spoilers)

Ok, so, the next upgrade for the equipment in your lab in the university requires 1000 friggin First City Coins. Now, I'm a late game player doing the heart's desire ambition, and even I've only got 346 of the things. Now, I could wait for the next election and spend some real world dosh on the tarot deck that lets you bypass this requirement, but I want some options in the meantime. Therefore, does anyone know of any way to grind up first city coins so that I don't have to step real money on this step? I mean, I will if I have to, but I'd like other options for those of us who didn't support that one political candidate last year.

Now I feel exceptionally foolish for selling off several hundred of these last week.

Turns out that FBG invented a way to progress this lab step that just requires research instead, for those of you who don't have either coins or a rare item.
Just study a the devil probablility machine, study a copy of statistics WITHOUT using any parabola research, and then you set.

I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien

My first idea would be to have a partner to accumulate coins while keeping the option from Heart's Desire open, get coins there with Connected: The Masters which can be gotten from the opportunity card "Invited to another revel of Mr Wines" (though only when you don't have any).

I posted and I will post again: welcome to endgame!
Over the years I hoarded 1.4k of these and I think the other 600 were from the 5th tournament.
We have:
Compromising Docs conversion using GG favours for 0-6. This is good for a small MW boost
The Awful Temptation of Money card which you can't get rid of. Only 1 coin same as
An unusual wager card for a chance for 1 coin. But both this and previous caard boost Counting the Days
At Counting Days 14 you get the Numismatrix ard where you can trade 3 Criminal favours for 20 coins!  This is the actual "grind"
Small bonus is to upconvert Cellars of Wine to Airag, but this can go slow if you don't plan on grinding Tears
Another option is to make an alt, reach Heart's Desire - The Bishop of St Fiacre's 4 and rob the Museum of Mistakes and keep the coins.
Wish you good luck and patience with this task!
