Found my first magician's coin yesterday while making a dump at one of my branch banks coin counters. At first I saw one obverse and the upside down other half (thought it was a washer), until I turned it over an saw the machined half of the nickel. Only bad part of the thing is that he used two different dates to make the coin. Would have been more realistic if he used both same date/mint mark coins. BUT, on the whole, a very nice clean machine job.

Got a nickle a while back that is a squirter. I think it was machined down on one side then a very tiny metal bladder that holds water. You get a very tiny squirt gun. $6 on amazon
