About Our Coin Boxes

This site is still under construction. We hope you will visit again often to see items added that will be available for your viewing, and/or, purchasing pleasure. Thank you.

Unless otherwise specified,the coin boxes pictured are designed to be used with U.S. half-dollar-size coins, the boxes holding four coins in a stack. They will also accomodate an expanded shell. Our coin boxes are made from solid brass, and, trimed with wood...a tricky process to say the least. They are bottom-heavy, and, have a rim that easily accomodates the balencing of a coin. We will be making these boxes available in many types of wood species in a design that will compliment the other items we manufacture in both sets, as well as, seperate boxes. They will come in our labeled box along with a protective carrying-pouch for sets, and/or, seperate boxes.

The nature of the design of these boxes, which, are tricky to manufacture (no pun), dictates that the wood trim around the outside be somewhat lacking in thickness. Some of the woods, even though they are classified as hardwoods, can be brittle, and, can crack easily when struck as a result of some of the moves I have seen used by some magicians. Some of these moves are interesting, and, impressive, as well as, maybe useful, but, should be employed at your own risk. One of my Ebony sets was ruined when a talented young fellow at a convention decided to use one of these moves, throwing the lid at the box, or visa-versa. I didn't notice until later that the wood was cracked as a result of the impact. So, please consider the routines, and, moves that may be involved in the way you intend to use these boxes before purchasing.

I know some performers who have been using these boxes for a long time, and, in very lengthy routines. They have been holding up very well with no problems for several years. We are keeping track of those in heavy use to see if any problems develop. So far, so good, but, we are sure these performers are not subjecting the boxes to the same rough/risky treatment as mentioned above, so please keep this information in mind when considering a purchase, and, by the way, thank you for considering a purchase!
