While doing this, you would have to be careful not to jangle the other

Alternatively use a wallet with a tight coin compartment or a separate

That you have obviously thought about this worries me a little. ;-)

No it's because I have a separate coin holder myself and it easily springs
to mind.

A separate coin holder? Serious stuff. ;-)

LOL. No originally I used a wallet as described above but over time the coin
compartment has become so worn it has holes in it. As the rest of the wallet
has a perfect set of compartments I decided to just get a separate little
purse for coins.


Hmm. Wallets and coins don't really mix. I think the sharper edges
of the new steel coins will only make the situation worse.

I was imagining one of those metal coin holders that takes a stack of
£1 coins and has a spring inside. Something that is *engineered*.
That's what I meant by "serious stuff". ;-)

Having had a wallet that took various demonations of Euro coins in
separate "holes" I was trying find one that held UK coins but hadn't
found one. meanwhile the missus got me one of these.

A tad heavy for a trouser pocket but OK in the coat. Gets a lot of
remarks when I use it as to how well organised I am which is far from
the reality.


That's a four-barrelled version of what I had in mind.

Very "serious stuff" indeed! Does it come with a trolley? :-)
