Crappy coins

I've been here more than three weeks and I still struggle with the coins.

They presumably changed the style some time in the last few years as there are two totally different CLP100 coins, one is a massive copper thing, the other is a more lightweight bimetallic job. I assume the copper is older. In the old style, the CLP50 coin is almost indistinguishable from the CLP100. It is slightly smaller, but I can only tell if I have a stack of the things or read the front of the coin. It's a nuisance in the dark.

Maybe the newer set by itself is more tractable, in which case I have to give them credit for making the switch and in five or ten more years it will all be cool.
