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Designer Hyun Woo Kim updates this outdated design with a beveled edge that is angled right enough for easy pick ups.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!.
