Do jumbo British coins exist? Does anybody own any? If so where do you get them from?
I've only ever seen jumbo American coins. Why's that?
Thanks.

I hope they do exist, somebody should make them, i am sure you could do some unbelievable coin magic with jumbo coins.

I'm sure I could, but alas we will never know.

Jumbo US coins are fine and all that, but UK specs have rarely seen a real half dollar, so a jumbo half dollar isn't that weird to them. I'm thinking a Jumbo 50p would make the spec more interested/amused.

Good question...

I was thinking about something similar today - why is it that the majority of money magic is explained with American money? I know a lot of things you can substitute for your currency, but things like Greed I don't know if you could... Or would want to 'waste' that much money?

Oh, also - can anyone reccommend a good UK coin that's good to practise the Muscle Pass with? I haven't got any poker chips and 10p's/2p's are too small... As is the 50p coin.

Maybe a 2 pound then?
Although I started with a 2p, then made my way through all the currency.
10p's are not too small, no coins really are.

i muscle pass with a 10p, 2p, and 50p

though learnt with a 2p at first

and with regards to Greed, I regularly perform this with english currency

actually, just tried, and i can muscle pass with a penny! Go me!

slightly on topic I'm after a shrunken "old english penny" for my scotch and soda set, but i think i'll have as much luck as you will have finding jumbo english coins.
best i could come up with was a charles and diana comemerative coin as long as it was heads up it close looking to a jumbo'd 10p or 5p.
