The bamboo skewers sound nice but aren't what I'm referring to by "sticks." These 6 sticks complete the hexagram in one sweeping motion. You can see a video here of them being demonstrated at roughly the 8:00 mark.

I don't believe the two pennies would be the same probabilities - these sticks are in line with the yarrow method as far as I can tell. As Sergio mentioned, a nice set like this or a handmade variation is handy to rearrange the lines.
I've been donating quite a bit the last few days

More later... I'm posting from my phone.
I don't use them, and am in no place to say....
But they are beautiful and seem like a good tool for what you're talking about.
Overpriced...but cool and useful...so not by tooooo much.
I'd venture to suggest making your own....I imagine the beginning...the very first diviners to collect and mark their sticks, with intention.
Perhaps sticks that you gather,
Just a thought

OK, so the probabilities are not the same as the two pennies method, but they aren't those of the yarrow either, they're actually those of the three coins!You can read more about the probability and patent here:

Do the Anthony sticks have Rolle's patent number on the box?
One thing I can say for sure is that you'll never get more than 3 changing lines in a given hexagram, which can be seen as an advantage, but it's still a limitation...

BTW have you thought of using beads or marbles ?

I got carried away by my imagination, and I thought there were changing lines on half of the sticks only!buzzurro, how are you coming to this conclusion?
