rapier867 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 2:28 pm Hello everyone! I am new to the forum and am somewhat of a coin collector but my question has more to do with coin magic (bear with me LOL). I am looking for a light weight (aluminium?) 30mm coin. It doesn't need to be an official coin (Tokens would work just fine) but I am looking for an inexpensive one (or more than one, I need a couple in case I need to replace it.)to do the "Coin that falls up" trick. I have U.S. half dollars and British Large Pennies. A light coin is the key but, of course, a attractive coin would be the icing on the cake. Thank you in advance for any information.

0xDA71D Pillar of the Community United States 1215 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 2:43 pm http://coinquest.com/cgi-bin/cq/coi...n_coin=15577 This Italian 10 Lira would be perfect, being aluminum and weighing about 2 grams. Its size is 29mm diameter. Not exactly 30mm but pretty close. Report this Post to the Staff
rapier867 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 4:21 pm Thank you, that is almost exactly what I am looking for! I like this design very much, the modern 10 Lira is not nearly as attractive. Any other suggestions? Report this Post to the Staff
X2an Pillar of the Community Sweden 1078 Posts	Posted 05/25/2015 4:37 pm I'm thinking an Austrian 5 schilling piece or French 5 franc coin (both 1940's-50's) would work perfectly with your half dollar, all of which are 31mm in diameter. The Austrian piece is milled, the French is not. The Austrian has an Eagle on the obverse, but sadly I cannot provide you pictures. Report this Post to the Staff
