[QUOTE="cladking, post: 256922, member: 68"]Holed coins can be stored on a peg as well. It may never have been a consideration but the hole makes them more easily converted to use as a washer. It should lower their rotational inertia and make it less likely they roll away. The hole provides a way to hook them. It's probably just tradition in most cases.[/QUOTE]
