Hard to beat that price. They have rounded corners and drilled holes,

edges for $3 if the metal was free.
I am going to book mark that site.

I don't think I can beat that price either.

One guy I called, named Miles, at Reliance, in Union City (408-672-3455)
quoted $24 each for 0.063 gauge 5052 alloy, cut to 12x18, not rounded, and
$33 each for 18x24.

Given that a *better* blank (rounded, painted, and holed) will be about $6
to $14 it's certainly not worth looking further at having anyone cut the
sheets for me locally.

The closest comparison is this 18x24 unpainted blank

The OP might want to see what this guy wants for the completed signs.
His paint or decals will last longer than your average rattle can
anyway.

I'm looking at that site now, which seems to have everything, from the
blanks, to the posts, and even the decals, as you mentioned:

The 18x24 painted rounded holed blanks are $14 plus a $10 handling & $17
shipping charge, for $41 for just one sign, so it's best to order more signs
because for just one, it's not worth the money alone.

Have you looked locally?
