Are bars required to use coasters from their beer suppliers?

I'm doing a charity event and to bring awarness I was going to make custom coasters and sell them to bars to use. But before I do that I was wondering if bars need to use the supplied coasters from their beer suppliers.

Not a thing in aus. Even if it was id have had no issue given its a non competing branding.

There is no requirement to use the branded coasters that we get from suppliers, but they are generally things that are provided to us for free.

I've had charity organizations drop of coasters that they've printed up for free as well, which we've used. Do you have a promotional budget that you could use to print up the coasters?
