Look for the mesh screen type cover thingies used to stop chip fat spraying from frying pans.

Spatter guard?
That's what I know them as, but if the mesh was as course as he wanted, the spatter guard could not do its job.
Take a look in a DIY store and try and find, or ask for, the perforated sheet metal and see if one of those has the right sized holes. It is meant for decorative use and is flat. Don't buy the aluminium version. The contact with aluminium is suspected to cause Altzimers (sp) disease. Though quite why I have no idea as we have been using aluminium pans for years. Copper, brass or steel should be OK though.

Of course! Why did I not think of that. It is called, expanded metal over here and the holes are in a diamond pattern and you can get it in various sized perforations.
As it is over here, from your answer :-)

Hi Nick
you may have found what you are looking for or not - but I came across this and thought it would meet your needs!

The damsons may have gone off in the intervening *SIX* years ...
WTF is going on today?
Dunno, I was expecting to find that was some awful web+flash front end to usenet, but they seem to be a normal nntp provider.
The stupid f*ck club is in extended session (again).
Look in prospecting shops, gem prospectors use sieves with meshes like that.
Jane's suggestion is the opposite of what Nick requested, that is a very fine sieve!
