Every once in a while someone finds a two headed or two tailed coin and ask if it's real. In the past I've had a variety of them and they are from a magicians place. So today I thought I'd run to a magic store that has supplies for just about everything in magic or just tricks. I've been there before so knew they had two headed coins. Oddly enough, with the exception of a half dollar, they were sold out. Even the people working there said there has been a real rush on those lately. Must have something to do with the massive interest lately on coin collecting which is obvious due to all the coin shows around.
The store wasn't crowded so I started asking what else do they have in coins besides the two tailed or headed ones. Sorry I asked. Almost an hour later I finally got out of there. Those people just love to show off magic tricks and showed me more coin tricks than I ever imagined. They enjoy fooling with the unknowing like me. I had coins vanish in my hands, go through my hands, my finger going through a coin, coins changing from one thing to another in my hands and probably a lot more but I gave an excuse that I was on my way to the grocery store so had to get out of there. Then they said wait, you haven't seen the currency tricks yet. They gave me their card with the web site and when I got home I went to their web site and typed in coins. There are 264 coin magic tricks listed. Glad I got out of there or they would have shown me all of them.

Oh, one more thing, those things are expensive.

That sounds like great fun! Question: did you check your wallet as you left?

Wow! Sounds like a fun place to hang out. You are going to go back, right?

Odd you should mention that. While there, everytime someone bumbed into me or passed behind me I reached for my wallet. I even told one of the guys working there that I'm afraid to not keep watching everyone. And yes I'm going back. Think I'll buy some of the coin tricks next time there.
Rest in Peace
