So I am compiling a list of the various basic categories of coin tricks. Here is what I have so far:

Coins Across
-coins across
-coins through table
-three fly
-gadabout coins
-coins to glass, purse, pocket, etc.

Spellbound
-spellbound
-copper/silver transpo

Matrix
-cards and coins
-chink-a-chink

Coins and Silk
-vanishes and reproductions
-penetrations

Vanish and Reproduction
-hanging coins
-exTROYdinary
-miser's dream
-etc.

Coin Box Magic

Specific Gimmicks
-coin in bottle
-$1.35 trick
-Scotch and Soda
-etc.

Transformations
-jumbo coins
-dollar to two halves to four quarters etc.

Mental
-coin in hand
-guessing the date of a coin
-chosen coin has an "X" on it

Keep in mind of course that this is just a sketch of coin magic. I left many things out and I had a tough time deciding which category some things should be in. It was also tough to decide how specific to be.

basically, I'm doing this because I figure that if I can learn one trick from each major category I will have a solid foundation in coin magic with which to build up my repertoire.

please make additions to my list =)

Multiplications
-Miser's Dream
-Explosion
-Slick Splits

Penetrations
-Chinese coin(s) on string

Transpositions
-CSB
-2 copper/ 1 silver

Coinbending
-bent Penny

And if you read Art of Astonishment you'll see quite some routines that defy any catagory, leave it up to Paul Harris...my favorite; Twilight!

a few more...

coin travels in time
coin changes in material
coin changes in sympathy to some other object
coin vanishes to find other item
coin changes value
value stays the same, denomination(s) change
coin becomes heavier/lighter
value of money remains while currency changes between countries
artwork on coin animates/changes

just a quick list off the top of my head -Jonathan

Okay, you might want to add:

Animation:

Coin answers questions by jumping up and down in a glass

Penny dropped into a glass of beer rises to the top

Half dollar set onto surface of drink floats, then sinks on command

Selected Penny of about 20 crawls out of pile

Levitation:

Coin defies gravity by falling up

Coin defies gravity by floating in the air

Invulnerability:

Coin folded into dollar bill is rolled into a tight tube, folded into a small packet, then emerges unharmed.

Coin wrapped in napkin is pierced by pins, emerges unharmed.

Transformation?

Small hole drilled in coin moves freely across the coin to a new location.

Weird Sympathy:

Impression of coin pressed into foil changes from head to tail when coin is turned over.

and then it gets really strange.....consider the Roth formal table routines:

Coins are dropped into a "portable hole" symbolized by a circle of black felt. They reappear in a purse with no bag.

The Sound of coins is caught in a glass and manipulated by the magician. The sound then becomes real.

Rubber stamped images of coins move around on a pad of paper, then become real coins

Coins become permanently fused together when touched to eachother.

Coins penetrate a tiny doll house table, then the table penetrates the table.

that's enough for now. Too specific?
