Never snapped cards before either ^

You try stack 5-10 coins of different denominations in a confined space and you'll get a good idea? I'd recommend going without the coin purse....unless you are an exceptionally heavy user of coins. Otherwise you can just keep in your pocket.

Without coins the wallet retains its shape more easily, therefore it'll be better looking without all the dents and bumps. Will last longer too because it's better 'cared' for too.
