Vegas Coins by Bob Kohler, Thomas Wayne

Effect: Four Vegas style genuine, precision made coins and a shell, perfect for Coins Across and other coin routines!

Vegas Coin Diameter Approximately 1 1/2″ (3.75cm)

The coins were first manufactured for a Vegas TV personality.  You’ve probably seen them used on the show. The tokens have some very interesting characteristics. First the metal is much harder than silver so the set will be more durable. Second, the metal is impregnated with an anti-corrosive to keep the tokens looking great under extreme use i.e. slot machines.

When Thomas made the first sets we discovered that the color of the metal combined with the spectacular nature made the shell pretty invisible even when viewed from the back. This illusion is enhanced by the token’s design. There is a “ring” pattern that really helps hide the seam.

They are much bigger than half dollars but slightly smaller than silver dollars. Audience’s recognize them as slot tokens and don’t question what they are like some of the old silver coins most of us use. Tokens in Vegas are quickly being replaced by slots that issue receipts. I think these will end up being collector’s items.
