to put their small penis inside it and jerk off

Instead of putting them in bags, they'd tie them together with a string
Sort of like how banks wrap packs of coins in paper.

Other ancient coins had that too, some Greek ones did for instance.

It's so they can be stored, you put all of them on a string and wear it around your arm/neck.

The Spaniards used to do the same

feng shui or something

Kike answers.
Real reason is ring coins save up on metal.
Punch a hole on 4-5 coins and have enough material for 1 more, compared to disks.

A leather pouch full of coins >>>>> a piece of plastic and some arbitrary digital numbers

useless and heavy worthless shit to carry around, only pm coins makes sense.
you actually rather carry around coins than cash? There should be 1€ note

>Useless
I make most of my payments with coins not paper

Old coins actually had a material value due to the precious metal they were minted from. Old paper currency was a certificate that could be exchanged for gold or silver coins.
Modern coins are equally as worthless as modern paper money

So they could use the middle parts to create more coins.

how poorfag you have to be able to do that or how much of coins you carry around
obviously, im talking about worthless coins like euros

I think 1,2, and 5 cent coins are actually worth something.

JPY basically has 5€ coins, on top of stuff actually being pretty cheap.

been there i know and got left with bag of coins, doesnt make any sense. cash is better
