general Coin stacks

This is so much harder than it looks.

Here’s how far I got with quarters before it fell down. I actually got one more layer on there, but then I went wider before going taller, and I lost the compression strength. I think it must be easier without fingernails. I kept nudging things with my nails and found it really hard to square up the pile (as you can see).

This is what I’ll try next. Probably not tonight, though, so don’t wait up.
