my belly collects the ketchup when i bite into a juicy hotdog, I guess that's pretty impressive as well.

Comparable would be separating out the ketchup and mustard into two straight lines

I'm so curious how one trains for this.

It gets progressively easier as the skill with one coin somewhat transfers to the others. Pennies you have to train for about a year, 9 months at nickels, 3 months with dimes, and just a few weeks to learn quarters after you've mastered those. Guarantee that if you gave her 9 Susan B. Anthony silver dollars, she'd pick it up in just a few minutes.
However, due to the volatility of foreign exchange rates, do not attempt this with other currencies. Results can be tragic. Lost my grandma when someone snuck a Canadian quarter in the #7 spot.

If I had a quarter for each time I've seen this, I'd probably also have 9 quarters

I'm almost positive I originally saw this lady perform this in the 80's on a show called "That's Incredible". This lady is a grandma now.

Who else tried to do just a “simple” belly roll after watching this, I tried at least once and went “nah”

Her $2.25 is still 5 quarters more than I usually tip for this type of entertainment. I can’t afford her and fairly sure that costume won’t be coming off.
