Cool but ridiculous. The 50¢ piece is out of control with the size

    It's great though! I can tell exactly how much I have in my pockets without looking!

    Why, because they tear a giant hole in your pocket with the weight so you know you have no coins in there? ;)

    Japan made all their coins identifiable by touch as well. There's a small and big one, then for the 4 with similar sizes 2 have milled edges and 2 have holes.
