I am not sure if this should be posted here or in another location, but I was doing some research on coins (as my character just gained 1500g and has just stuffed them in her bag) and I feel that coin weight is a tad heavy at 50 coins in a pound.
Just a cursory googling and a couple wiki pages later, I found that the Gold Dinar (the original ones, not modern) weighed approximately 4.25 grams each. At just a bit over 450 grams in a pound, that means you could easily approximate 100 coins in a pound. (and for those wondering, silver and copper are even lighter... tho platinum is heavier, but often rarer, so a nice average centered on gold seems more apt).
Perhaps a look at that? A change would be even better. And/or, allow each player/DM to SET the weight value of coins so that if they want to say a coin is heavier or lighter, they can set the value themselves.
On a similar note, gold value and weight customization is great now that it has been added, but why no fractions? Not talking about thirds and 4ths and such, but points of a whole. (0.5 or 0.1 or 5.1 for examples). Some of the default items already have fractional weights and/or values, why can't we the player add (or subtract) fractional values? Would be very nice to see added in the future (the nearer the better as I really enjoy the equipment customization options).

When you are this bad at everything, you must be... Casually Challenged.
Correct on the rules of the sheet following the RAW, but as every game is different, and each campaign and DM has their own rules (for example the game I am running and another game I am in do not use coin weight rules at all... within reason), so having the option to use an adjustable coin weight would be something nice to have.
Instead of just toggling on or off, you have a toggle and maybe a check box or a data entry to indicate how much a coin weighs so each DM can adjust to their own preference, but maybe the first option is defaulted to the "standard" with a note that says "PHB page X has a standard weight of Y." For those that just like to use that.
Just a thought.

While I'm not objecting to setting the weight, at the same time the sheet is doing it by the rules in the PHB.
