you get 9 coins and and a slim line okito box and a dvd of routines and moves for the coins.

Overall:-
the coins themselves are very close in size and thickness to a half dollar and have a brass rim and a large plastic highly coloured center, the only slight draw back is that the edges are not milled but this is not too much of a problem if you have a half decent clasic palm (shown but not explained on the dvd).
the okito box is a nice brass unit and the basic moves are taut thoroughly and clearly demonstrated, although my dvd developed a fault after the mind reader routine.
you can do all the routines you can do with regular coins a well as some that need a certain shall we say bi-polar gimick and coin slieghts like the bobo switch and double turn over are clearly explained, the routines are easily in the scope of anyone with a basic coin knowledge and a great accompliment to bob's book as they are universal and not linited to any currency or country which was my main reason for purchase.
i recomend thease to any coin worker who wants to do coin magic for children or were there is a language barrier to overcum.
there is curently no plan for a expanded gimick, which would top off this excelent coin set, perhaps this and a set of coloured chips for coins across routines could be considered in the future.
