Recently I picked up another fine piece of leatherwork from my friend Todd Foster , this time is was one of his Coin Saps.

The concept is simple, take a leather pouch, fill it with coins and swing. I am such a fan of centrifugal force.

The first thing that struck me was the attention to detail on the coin sap. Todd starts off with fine leather and puts in together with perfect stitching.

I opted to fill my coin sap with dimes. I added a handful at a time, swung it back and forth to seat them, and then added more. As you can see it the picture I am now up to 90 dimes. The more the sap breaks in the more dimes can fit.

This of course will work as well as any traditional sap and might be a little more explainable, but not much.

Yesterday I spent about four hours driving with the Coin Sap in my back pocket and could not even tell it was there. This is just another must have piece of gear from the Fosters.
