Twenty-four coins

I have twenty-four identical-looking coins, but two are fake and weigh possibly different from each other, though definitely different from the remaining genuine coins. I have a weighing scale and a two-pan balance.

At most how many times must I use one or the other, or both, to determine the two fake coins?
