No reason why you can't have just one denomination. It's easier to type
give 2067 coins (to) susie
and let the code just do that..
than make the code have to decide which denominations to give Susie, or even worse - make the player have to give 6 of these types of coins, and 40 of those types of coins, etc. etc. etc.
Make'em all coins, make each coin extremely lightweight (or even virtual so they don't take up any weight/space at all in a pocket), and you're good to go.
You can even make the coins coded so that each -pile- of coins has a maximum weight, no matter how many coins are in the pile. So, if someone put 1 coin in their pack, it will weigh as much as 27 coins, or 2800 coins. And they can get all the coins from their pack, which automatically bundles it into a single pile..
But to their detriment, a thief would be able to take coins only by the pile..which would make it to the character's benefit to split the coins up into several piles - thus reducing the loss if they got robbed.
