The package says you get four gimmicked coins, but that's not true. One of the coins is just an English penny, completely normal, and the DVD makes mention of this as one in your set. While the penny is useful for a couple of the routines, what is not good is the fact that this set is missing a Chinese coin, even though the descriptions specifically mention it on two effects as being a part of the routines. That is inexcusable for the price of this set, especially considering one of the coins is an English penny, which I'm pretty sure only cost a penny to get.

He mentions you'll need to get a contrasting coin of the same size as a half dollar or English penny. He talks about using a British two-pound coin (since he's in Britain and they're easy to get). In the USA, that means you can use a...nothing. Just telling you ahead of time that ordering this set will mean you need to go ahead and throw the Chinese coin in the cart.

So what do you get here? Two different split coins, one shell (not expanded), and the penny. The DVD gives you six routines. While the gimmicked coins are nice, you'll still have to work on your moves to make these work. For the most part, you'll probably just use the DVD to jump start some ideas of your own.

For the money you spend on this, the failure to include all the necessary coins right out of the box is unbelievable. However, the quality of the three gimmicks is very good.
