Hey, does any of you magic guys have jokes about coins. I am thinking about a presentation about a coin effect and would like to add a few gags into the routine. Cheers in advance.

Via Google, two jokes which might get you a kick in the shins from Lomster:
A blonde reports for her university final exam which consists of mainly true and false questions. She takes her seat in the examination hall, stares at the question paper for five minutes, and then in a fit of inspiration takes her purse out, removes a coin and starts tossing the coin and marking the answer sheet: true for heads and false for tails. Within thirty minutes she is all done, whereas the rest of the class is still working furiously.

During the last few minutes, she is seen desperately throwing the coin, swearing and sweating. The moderator, alarmed, approaches her and asks what is happening.

"I finished the exam in a half hour," she replies. "And as I have more time left, I'm rechecking my answers."


Adresed to a rather lovely lady in the audience:
Do you have a coin? I want to call your parents to thank them.


and:

Two lazy country bumpkins heard that the streets of London were paved with gold, so they set out to make their fortune. As they walked out of Euston Station one man saw a pound coin lying on the pavement, bending to pick it up he said , 'Oooh arr, look at that, we'll be making our fortune in no time at all!".

The other guy stops him from picking it up saying "Leave it there for now, we can always start work tomorrow morning!"

A man is walking along the beach when he hears a deep voice. The voice says "Dig!" The man turns to look around, but, seeing no one, continues to walk. Again the voice says, "Dig!"

So the man gets down on his knees and starts digging in the sand until he comes across a gold coin.

The voice says "Casino!" so the man goes to the casino and the voice says "Roulette!".

The man takes the box to the roulette table and the voice says "27!" He puts the coin on 27, they spin the ball and it comes up 26. The voice says "Damn!

I've always liked the old:

"some people say money talks, it seems that you money..."
[vanish coin]
"...is saying goodbye" [wave now empty hand]

I like that one! Bit cheesy, but is almost as bit of misdirection!

Don't know if this will go over for an English crowd or not...

The performer states, "This is an American Half Dollar. As you can see, there is a picture of John F. Kennedy on the front and it has a picture of Marylin Monroe on the back..."

Upon turning the coin over and showing it he states, "Oh, no, wait...That's just a spread eagle."

Could be done using that silk to panties trick, perhaps.
