Hey all,

I was just windering if anyone had any ideas where i could buy a set of magnetic british coins? I know there are some steel centred coins floating about but i can't find them for the life of me.

Thanks

Sam

Recently minted copper coins are already suitable - most online stores do gaffed 10p and 50p coins but they cost quite a bit.

quite a bit of an understatement.. you can buy a 50p for £25!!!

Sometimes on ebay mate.. you can pick up a steel core £1 for £7 which is reasonable..until you spend it one night at the kebab shop because your wasted !! :oops:

Ok, thanks for the help guys. Being 14 i don't think i'll have the problem of spending it at the chippy after a late night...but you never know :twisted:

ok.. time to reveal one of my best kept secrets...the best place for magnetic silver coins is....nah..changed my mind.. its too good to let slip

Suggestion...

Depending on what the coin is being used for, you can SHIM or ADD A THIN MAGNET to the underside of most UK coins with a bit of superglue or epoxy resin.

This way, they are fine if you ONLY SHOW ONE SIDE... now, this sounds like a massive limitation, but it really isn't at all—depending how you handle the effect.

I've never done it yet but have thought about getting some of those really small rare earth magnets for sticking to the reverse of coins, cards and all sorts. with the right handling you should be able to get away with them easily.

by **I.D** » Dec 7th, '06, 13:36

I suppose a paddle move type of handling.. I dont think people would pay THAT mcuh attention to heads and tails .. is not like you would call out the two sides of the coin anyway.. they would just subconsciously see two sides and thats it..

but if you wanted them to examine it.. we need MOGS secret :wink:

edit :

or just remove the neo and hand it back!!

I spent both my flipper coin and bite out 50p once..... learnt then to keep gaffed coins in a separate pocket ALWAYS

Harsh lol. Thanks for all the tips guys. I'm sure i'll manage to get them magnetic one way or the other

Theres a huge gaping hole in the market for someone to get a set of magnetic coins, I'm sure alot of people would jump for them,

Cheers

at an affordable price they would...... 25 nicker for a single coin is steep,

by **I.D** » Dec 7th, '06, 17:36

Yup it sure is..

I think gaffing you own coins would be cheaper.. Now all I need is a power drill :twisted:

I see some come up on ebay at times.
