But you can do the exact same thing with normal looking props and you would end up with the same if not better reactions. If I would do a one coin-routine with a 2 euro coin over here in the Netherlands, I get better reaction than if I would do it with an American half dollar because people don't recognize that over here.
Even if they can examine everything and can be sure it's just a regular coin, there will always be a subconscious suspicion when using props they have never seen before, as little as it may be.
