There is a good explanation and great illustrations of a Magician's coin in this thread here, chettieyy.

If done right a coin made from two of the same coin type would have the same amount of material (and probably a bit less).

They use the same reverse for a neat bit of legerdemain. One appears to have two coins in one hand, and then pick one of them up where in reality the hand that "picked it up" is empty, and they simply slid the two halves of the coin together. Often the coin used in this trick is magnetized to make it easier.

Here's the Chinese magician Lu Qian doing a routine with this technique with a set of trick halves. And a big finish at the end. :-)
