What an utterly simply yet ingenious idea! How many times have you suffered from the embarrassment of clumsily trying to grab at that coin that fell down?
Coins have had pretty much the same core design since their introduction: flat and mostly round - two design aesthetics that make a coin pretty difficult to pick up.
Designer Hyun Woo Kim updates this outdated design with a beveled edge that is angled right enough for easy pick ups.
I am all for it, as it saves me from seeing my colleague's buttcrack for an extra few seconds while he's bending over, unless she's a girl wearing the Bikini Pants!.
