Ok guys, this might be a dumb question that probably has an obvious answer but hear goes, do your coins smell and what do you do about them? I have a lot of half dollars for Miser's Dream and they are really starting to smell.

I love the smell! Wait till you do a copper miser's dream.
Can't do much about it. Clad coins, copper coins...they just have a metalic smell about them. It does not matter if you wash them. I think a chemical reation occurs when we hold them. Try sliver coins.

I HATE SMELLY COINS!

A paste wax coating can help, but it's a lot of work to use paste wax on coins, and it's not always a desirable end result...

This can be a good effect!

"borrow a coin, put it a little of cologne on you, and later , moved the cologne to the coin in the spectator hands..."

Ooo that's a good idea Pablo! lol.

That's a really original idea. Try and work it out in a routine. You may do this within a coin effect without referring to the smell and then involve another spectator with the coin effect (to gain time misdirection). Then do a routine without coin where you show a little bottle of perfume (like they give in hotels or samples), do a kind of spellbound for an empty bottle "tossing" the perfume towards the "prepared" spectator extended hand and ask him to let a lady in the audience try and "recognize the brand of the perfume on his hand" (this last " " being a great misdirection).

If anybody wanna take the idea and worked it.. its ok
