I agree with Morgician on this one.
It's important to set yourself aprt from what the spectators have already seen. You can jazz around with effects like ambitious and whatnot, but something as simple and base as coin bite, well... they're going to remember seeing that exact effect.
You may prefer, if you like, Nate Kranzo's idea on the effect. Take the bite from the coin, then give the coin with the missing chunk to your spec to hold onto as a souvenir, as you audibly crunch up the bitten chunk.
it doesn't take much to figure out a methodology (and don't worry guys, Nate posted this tip on another forum and i'm saying no more than he did-in fact, i'm saying a little less!)
Play with the effect, but revitalise the method, is what I would say.
