You could also consider to issue your coin on the Nxt Monetary system.
It takes a few minutes, you decide if you want to issue all coins at once (~"premine"), or if they require mining (SHA256, SHA3, Scrypt, or Keccak25).
A 4 letter currency code would cost you 1000NXT = 11$ to issue your currecy, no programmer required.
pro: On the monetary system, your coins are secured by the Nxt blockchain, so you don't have to worry about attacks because of low total hashrate (an attacker could easily destroy your regular coin if it has low hashrate).
