Ya, tell me about it. Isn't there a light-weight metal they can use. Maybe they use heavy metals to give people the impression that the coin is really worth it, but dang, you can't carry your purse around without getting a indentation in your shoulder from all the weight.

And you can't do like I used to do with loose change, and throw it in a pot. Because the denominations are higher, you run out of money really quickly if you throw your coins in there every night.
