Recently bought a stack of old chinese coins replica (those with a square hole in the middle) because i thought they looked interesting. They are almost exact size of a SG 50 cents coin but much thinner.

Anybody can think of any effects i can do with them?

This coins are thin and is very easy to p***. You can do spellbound routines Or Troy Hooser's Charming Chinese Challendge (Ribbon thru chinese coin penetration).

A short spellbound
Show a C/S coin in left hand (spellbound position), classic p*** 2 chinese coin in right hand.
Do the standard spellbound change with the C/S coin, For the final change, patter "I actually use 2 coins" replace the C/S coin with the chinese coins.

i got a few of those plastic like chinese coins.
i use it for m***** pass n copper silver coin routine

Matrix but end up the coin change to bigger coin

i have 3 diff sizes of chinese coins... i use it for dishonest ape by greg wilson

Are chinese coins magnetic?

definitely not the ones from "buddist" shops

what are the differences between chinese coins by sasco, johnson and sterling? i believe each of these manufacturers use their own type of chinese coins for their tricks. who thinks johnson's chinese coins looks the coolest?

Are chinese coins magnetic?

not that i know of, of course u can try to find actual chinese coins which are magnetic or specially made magnetic chinese coins. this is like asking "are half-dollars magnetic".

are half-dollars magnetic?

half dollars normally arent. but special steel core or magnetic half dollars are manufactured, and they cost much more.
