My fav effect with coins is the look on my daughter's face I get when I give her a handful to buy sweeties.. :wink:

Actually, I enjoy chink-a-chink and the matrix(although I haven't got chink-a-chink down yet).
My all time favourite, though, is biting through a coin. U-huh - I know - I always get this 'corny!' look from magicians when I say that, but it seriously gets great reactions and is a great way to get someone on the street to stop in their trcks and go 'Huh??' - which opens the door to performing for them. Works for me..

My favorite at the moment involves a simple pinch vanish and production of a 3inch coin. When the large coin hits the table it grabs their attention.
