There's no reason the different values of coins have to look alike. They don't need to be the same size, shape, or color, either. If they are made of various metals and alloys (instead of all of gold, each value being bigger, for example) there's no problem with having large denominations that are approximately the same size and won't be confused with others. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
