Hello!

I was practicing my coin routines, and i was thinking of adding a Jumbo coin after I witnessed a Friend perform a nice routine with his Jumbo Coin(half dollar i guess?)


Now the thing is; Hes American, so he uses half dollars.

so it changes into a Jumbo Half dollar. which is a perfect size in my opinion.

im not sure about the measurements but i guess its about.. 3 to 4 inch or something?

But Im using euro coins instead. Because Imfrom Europe. and I dont want to have the same thing as my friend. And currently im travelling through Asia, so it would be unique to show the people 2 Euro coins.

So i Was really happy they even had 2 euro Jumbo Coins.

but the weird thing is. After searching a lot of internet stores...

The come in really strange sizes? I dont understand. so here it is;

-they have the 2 euro Economy Jumbo coin which is only 2.75 inch or something.(in my opinion just to small to make a big final impression or climax to your coin routine..? it only double the size. it doesnt feel big at all...?) its not too expensive though. around 15 pounds.

-the second choice;

a 5 inch Jumbo 2 euro coin.. 5 inch..?? thats waaaay too big in my opinion.

I couldnt palm such a huge coin. I mean its really big. I wouldnt know how you would secretly squeeze it into my routine.

Now I could somehow find a way. But it just irritates me?

and another strange thing. the second coin; they way they describe it its way more like a real 2 euro coin.. also a lot more expensive too; 50 pounds!!!

i dont understand why they dont sell the normal 3 to 4 inch jumbo 2 euro coins like the half dollar ones..

after some searching on punguin as well i suddenly found this as well; it says 3 in the title( which maybe is 3 inch? i dont know)

but does look beautifull and is only 40 dollar.

What do you guys think is he best choice?

thank you if anyone has some advice for me.

Hi! Maybe you could write to the shops e-mail, and ask them. And I really like the 2 euro one. Im a us currency person, so I would go for the halfs, but if youre a euro person, you should go for the euro... and maybe do some more research, and try to find a cheaper one. If you scroll down here- http://www.donsmagic.com/yee/Saccessories.htm , you will find a 7 cm one..which could be enough....and they also sell a holder which is very handy- it is very easy to palm from the holder.

thank you very much

but basically its exactly the same sizes as the first two haha.

but its okay. i think im going to go for the 7 cm one. it should be good enough.

It doesnt matter.what creates the impact with the production of a jumbo coin, is the size, not what it looks like.

however, personaly id use a u.s coin, because audiences are more tuned into the way they look.And from a short distance they can be confused as a uk coin.

as to palming a 5" coin.. You can.

coins of that size can be held in tenkai against the body with few angle issues. not in close up mind.
if this is being done close up, i sugest that you look into bottle productions, and go from there.
