    I think Tango are the only ones who produce gimmicked euros.

    Maybe you could buy some shells and put them over very powerful disc magnet.

    Can you explain what you need it for without going into too much detail about the effect?

    I actually found a place in Japan ( of all places ) who do very good and also very strong magnetic coins.

    cost about €40 imported each , but apparently the best around. I'll get one in and then post a review of it.

    Would it be possible to use a shell with a really strong magnet inside?

    Not really , I want the coin to be completely examinable both before and after the effect. Of course then swap it out for a regular 50 cent , get the coin signed and bend it in the spectator's hand.

    anyway , the coin is ordered ( given the shipping price i got 2) - a very nice man called Nakashima Kengo (kreis magic)

    For future reference btw, I have seen shells out there that come in two halves, which can be nested back to back. I saw them marketed as a security device in which to hide a microsd card (I believe I saw them on thinkgeek). Something like that might also be an alternative.
