This is a book of routines using a special Half Dollar Coin which has a card value and suit punched out of it (like the number 2 and a Diamond shape). It was mainly used with an expanded shell to initially cover the punched out areas. Some of the routines could also apply to any other coin with a card name somehow embedded or printed on it. When Sterling initially came out with the coin, they held a competition on who could come up with the best routine. This book contains the competition winners. Contributors include Gary Ouellet, Gene Poinc, Curtis Kam, and numerous others.
This is just the booklet. NO COINS OR GAFFS INCLUDED.
