if a quarter is the same size as a 10p you can buy them from emagictricks.co.uk

I've left a tip somewhere else in the forum, but I'd like to add that you should keep a few bands in stock... I use 2 bands per-coin as an insurance policy (especially during the Coin in Bottle!!!).

Another tip is if you are storing the coin for a while, take the band off. The small bands seem to perish quite quickly.

Good advice Seige. However, we have recently purchased some new bands which, unlike the standard ones, small "nicks" do not travel. You can actually use only one of these much more safely. We now sell these as standard.

Best regards

Excellent.

For a while now I've relied on 2 bands. It seems that my 50p double-fold is the worst candidate for nicking the bands.

I'll order some now, actually.

Cheers Laurence.
