Neat Finds
TWO SIZES/ SAME TIME
We would like to think we can!
The contest is over. But here is our new Kickstarter to make the coin.
It's the FLHEX project and it features an exciting deck of cards and a new coin with an odd shape, giving it similarities to both half dollars and silver dollars.
We have just a few days...Read about it and support our Kickstarter NOW!

Ok Gang,
I'm making a new coin that is both Silver Dollar Size and Half Dollar Size at the same time. I know, that sounds crazy. Maybe it is. Can you figure out how this is possible? That's our Contest...
Tell me how I could make a coin that is both Silver Dollar Size and Half Dollar Size at the same time. Comment Below before November 5, 2019 CST for your chance to win TWO of these new coins!!
This is all happening because I'm starting a Kickstarter for a new deck of cards for Cardistry. The Kickstarter is a side project, because we are obviously a Coin Magic company.
However, there is a coin component to this Playing Card Kickstarter. I'm making a coin that goes along with the deck! It's a way to connect the Copeland Coins Brand, and we all like coins, so why not?
As stated above, this coin will be very special. Can you guess how it is possible to share both Silver Dollar and Half Dollar sizes in the same coin?
To be fair, I'm being intentionally vague about the description. And the size is not perfectly the same to both coins, but will be with in a couple of millimeters. Pretty stinking close, I would say!
As always, I reward everyone who enters into my contest. So it doesn't hurt to take a guess at what this new coin will look like.
Have fun! You are allowed two guess... in case you want to get creative with one of them and be more serious with the other.
Okay, that's it. Comment below for your chance to win!

It I am seeing them at the same time they must be nested. Have a “pop out” of the fifty cent piece to look like it’s setting on top right of the silver dollar.
Face is dollar, reverse half or vice versa.
Stoneridge engineering shrinks coins electromagnetically….they can take a Morgan or an Eisenhower dollar and shrink it to the size of a half dollar (approximately). They sell these as well as coins of other denominations which are shrunken by the same process. Strange but true.
I’m thinking a metallic elastomer that expands within a shell, or as a restrained shell. When the coin is compressed in the fingers the elastomer expands.
Possibly?? The Silver Dollar folds ( maybe all for positions, Left, Right Top Bottom a tiny bit ) behind the half and is attached to the half, show the half and by transferring it to the other hand the Silver dollar unfolds hiding the half behind it
