You don't say what material, or how thick, or even what diameters.

You can cut steel shim up to maybe 15 thou or so OK with an ordinary
wad punch, get a good sized block of some serious hardwood and cut
against the (smoothly cut) end grain.
Obviously if you're doing loads of these it won't do the punch a lot
of good, but it's worked fine for me or odd ones & twos.
I've cut bigger, thicker ones on the CNC mill sandwiched between two
pieces of ply, you could do it manually with a rotary table, but
either way that is a lot more work.
