Coin Magic Material, well-known and others.

I've been getting big into coins recently, after getting the magic bug again. Partly avoiding cards, just because I have a few tricks I absolutely love to perform and see no reason to expand on that right now, because I'm wanting more variety to what I do.

I'm loving Dollar-Sized coins, and I'd say I'm somewhere between mediocre and intermediate with them. As I'm practicing with basic coins, I'm also adding to my gimmicks and props (Got a Flipper, slippery shell [not a fan of slippery shells... So I have a normal shell on the way], a Slot Buddha Box for Half-Dollars, and a couple of other gimmicks.).

I also have Bobo's book and Eric Jones'/Ellusionist's "Metal 1".

Although I know Bobo's has a WEALTH of material, I'm like many of you where one book just isn't enough, even if I haven't memorized every detail.

So, my question is, what other coin trickery is out there that is worth investing my time, money, and agony of practice into? Most of my performing is done standing up, but I do table work every so often. (In fact, I'm working on a Shadow-Coins Effect that doesn't use gimmicks, gaffs, or extras)

Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated, and definitely not ignored. Looking to be the very best I can be, as many of us are.
