This isn't a topic about palming but rather about coins themselves.

When I was a kid you could buy 'palming coins' made by Abbott and the like. They were half dollar or dollar in size, made of aluminum typically, rather thin, and used for Misers Dreams and the like in lieu of real coins.

I'd like to have some around but can't find a source anymore. Of course searching under 'palming coins' brings too many links, mostly for the physical act of palming rather than sources for coins.

Any ideas other than go the antique route? I thought of Mardi Gras tokens but generally these are plastic and too light.

Thanks

A few years back I got a great collection of very thin disk from Tork(I think)
20 were the size of about 5 half dollars.They picked up the spot light well.
Those were in my days of browsing EBAY for new toys...these days I try to rmember to practice my steps of EA..(Ebay Anonymous)..

For misers d..I mostly go with real currency...Walk arounds I occassionally give away loads of pennys or a few quarters every once and a while...

Norm Nielson has the type of coins your are looking for. I bet a trip to a local machine shop might be able to turn you some flat mirror like discs with a knurled edges (that's what makes it ridged or jagged /\/\/\/\/\/\ like that around the coins edge)

I use Nelsons palming coins they are great. They are thinner then most. I think you can get them for 3 bucks each (dallor size)
