"Nevermind the increased production costs, storage, and people cutting themselves on coin wedges. They look awesome. Plus - the one- and five-cent pieces can double as bottle openers." - Tudor Bosman

Very clever - Özkan Altuner from iPhone

Very clever. I love the 2. - Kevin Fox

Isn't this problem solved by putting numbers on the coins? - Andrew C (✓)

Andrew: not really. 1. not for blind people, and 2. not when fumbling around in your pocket; you end up pulling a handful of coins, and then slowly sifting through them reading every single number, while people behind you in the checkout line are tapping their feet -- an all-too-common event for international travelers. - Tudor Bosman

Something noted by the designer (http://twitter.com/mac_fun...) is that angular coins might hurt your hand ... but still a cool idea. - Tom Stocky

Non-round coins are also highly impractical for coin-operated machines that depend on the ability of a coin to roll through a mechanism. - Kevin Fox

I think it is about time to get rid of most coins. Do we really need pennies and nickles or even dimes? They are almost useless and have very little value. Does anything actually cost 1, 5 or 10 cents anymore? Would be a lot easier if prices were rounded up or down to the nearest quarter or dime. - Jeff P. Henderson
