Salome's actually has the coins (50 for $15) that you can purchase and sew on your own outfit. Here's the link for that one:

My belly dance teacher asks that we don't wear coin scarves to class as it gets too noisy with a whole class wearing them and she winds up shouting to be heard over the music and all that jingling. So while I might wear one at home sometimes when I practice, I tone it down for class unless we are having a special fancy dress night.

When I took a belly dance class I used a scarf, but if I did it again I would go with the coin skirt. I think the noise of the coins helps you to get the moves correct. Have fun!!

To follow up on Rae's comment about coin scarves, one of my belly dance teachers (in Russia, a professional who has danced all over the Middle East) advised us that coin belts can be interpreted as asking for money, and that it's better to have other kinds of sequins and beads sewn on to your costume, which stll show the shimmy (but aren't so noisy!). I still have and like my coin garb, but thought people might be interested in this perspective.

I've got a page up on making your own belly dance costumes, and it's got links to how to do Shisha, which is the name for traditional mirror embroidery, plus pics of my belt-in-progress. I really wanted to embroider on velvet, but I don't recommend it for beginners...LOL I've still got one panel to finish and then I get to move on to lining it.

A hip scarf is less distracting. I find that you can easily make them or a sarong can be used.ASDA/WALMART) often have these in the autumn going for about $4.00!
I enjoy coin belts and my tutor encourages us to use them also. I have a black and a purple one.I bought mine in a shop so, I dont know anywhere online that is reputable. perhaps one linked from a forum would be a good idea?
