Hey Rocketman7,

Yeah I am mixed on the whole coin thing. I tend to be the type that carries a bunch of change and I find that my pocket gets kind of heavy. If I remember correctly the pound was heavier than the Euro so maybe it wasn't as bad outside of the UK.

They released that indian head dollar a few years ago here, you can still get them as change in the NY subway but outside of that don't see them much.

Hope things are going well.

Best,
Dave
