  • Question
    Are bigger coins easier to control or would they be too big to flip from finger to finger? Should I experiment with a few different sized coins to see what works best for me?

    Every hand is different, and some people find it easier with smaller coins and others with larger coins. Also, consider the weight of the coin.
  • Question
    Will it be harder if I am using a penny or a button?
    Community Answer
    That really depends on how skilled you are. If you are a beginner, it may go either way. The button is thicker but much lighter than the penny, so it could easily fall from your hand. The penny may be easier to handle for the opposite reasons. It all really depends on the size and shape of your hand and your personal level of dexterity.

  • Question
    What do I do if the coin keeps falling off my hand?

    You can raise your pinkie slightly up so it wont slip off your fingers as easily. You also just need to practice until you get better at it. It's a skill!
  • Question
    Would it be easier to use a larger or smaller coin, like a half-dollar vs a quarter?

  • Question
    How do I keep the coin from falling from my hand when trying to roll it?
    Community Answer
    That's something that comes with practice and patience. The first few times you do it, you're going to drop it. If you want to avoid that start off slow and build speed. Also try catching the coin with your pinky knuckle if it starts to slide towards the end.
  • Question
    How do I roll the coin from my middle finger to my ring finger?
    Community Answer
    This part's tricky. Try lowering your middle ringer and try to nudge the coin closer to your middle finger phalanx by raising your pointer finger.
