    Yea but, do you organize them by feel alone in your pockets then hold them in the curl of your fingers?!

    Hell yeah, I’m on the side of the normal people for once.
    Stacking your coins like that (and holding them in order in your pocket/hand) would warm the coins up because you touched them, and there’s nothing worse than warm coins.

      I have always hated warm coins, but I didn’t realize it until now. Your comment gave me a plain toast-flavored eureka moment; thank you.

    Or people who want to pay in cash with exact change? Easier to grab if it’s order

      When I was young, I made different compartments in my money pocket for different denominations of coins so I can always have them sorted and it’s easy to grab whatever amount I need. It was the most normal behaviour for me and I was proud of having more efficient system than everyone else.
      Anyway, I’m diagnosed with Autism now.

    We need to bring back the coin sacks. I’ve always wanted to drop a sack of random coins on the counter and say, “This ought to cover it.”

    So… I might be neurospicy or retarded or both or either… but IMHO it’s perfectly rational to sort. It means you get access to the sum or individual pieces way WAY faster than otherwise. What’s arguably less rational though is if you can’t help yourself, even in a life or death situation, and have to sort coins instead of doing CPR. Then it’s not normal.

    “Retarded” as a descriptive term has gotten a lot of flak for the last couple decades, mostly by the bleeders that wear their hearts on their sleeves. The word itself is not so much an insulting denigration as it is a succinct label. And we all use labels for everything and everybody

          Huh? Those are both completely different topics than anything said here.

          We’re talking about a label used to describe people that used to “okay”. I compare the r word to the n word because they both fit the description of an old label that the “labeled” people don’t want to be called by anymore. Anyone who insists on using it after being asked not to can go fuck off a cliff.
