Very cool, but NOT coming to a wallet or pocket near you.

all the same size?

can't friggen believe we still have that issue here with our currency.

[Gregory Edmonds]

While it's very likely all major world economies will eventually go "all electronic," it's equally likely that lighter-weight coins will replace paper notes before the former becomes reality. This, at least, according to what I've read on the subject.

By the way, I hate the brightly colored paper bills (whether the sizes vary or not), they look like cheap discount store coupons. The images of Washington, though, I thought were rather nice.

Many countries no longer have 1 dollar, 2 dollar, or five dollar bills. Just coins of those values. It saves money, but makes your damn pocket heavy. When I'm in the UK and have a bunch of 1 pound coins in my pocket, it feels like I have a second scrotum.

Looks like monopoly money.

Richard,

You seriously need to get one of these: http://www.australiagift.com/scrotum_shop/

Damn. Do not click on that link.
No! Don't do it.
Damn.

El Mystico here has one of those scrotum bags he uses to keep his coins in. It's very cool. Like a very soft leather.

[Richard Kaufman]

What do you mean "like" very soft leather? It IS very soft leather! OUCH and damn.

[Jonathan Townsend]

Okay - who's gonna get one made up for a "Scotch coin bag" routine?

On a more practical note - seems a high risk for sexual harassment when used outside a pickup/bar situation.

[Richard Kaufman]

Sexual harassment? You're joking. No one would even know what it was if you didn't tell them.

Richard Kaufman - "Sexual harassment? You're joking. No one would even know what it was if you didn't tell them."

Unless you don't have a table, and make the mistake of asking, "Madam, would you mind holding my scrotum for a moment."

Jonathan may have a point. ;)

[Dustin Stinett]

Is there any reason to having one if you're not going to say what it is?

I am, of course, considering one to hold my Himber Balls.

[Doc Dixon]

One thing to remember about these purses: ONLY tell them what it is while it's in their hands.

[Pete McCabe]

This is a great way to carry your hopping half set.

Where's Kent Gunn when you need him?!
