Coins and Choices

hiddendotgif:
I have a couple things that I have been thinking about regarding the Coins.

1- If Harry were to pick up a new coin, which do you think it'd be and why?
2- What would happen if someone took up multiple coins? Would the Fallen deck it out for who gets to be the main one in the holder's head?
3- I don't know if it's been said how durable the coins are. I don't imagine they're indestructible, so what would happen to the Fallen if the coin were destroyed? Alternatively, if the coins are instead highly durable, what non-conventional uses could they serve? I was thinking a magical bullet of sorts; Harry and his kinetic energy storing and such could release it on the coin, with no need for gunpowder or fancy bullets.

I think Marcone has the coin that Harry would even be remotely interested in.  However having said that, I doubt the Harry would consider it after his experience with Lasciel. 

Con:
1.Yeah if it wasn't Lasciel it would be Namshiel.
2.As for multiple coins I imagine it'd be similar to Thomas if he had picked up a coin or the winter mantle and he had that in addition to his own demon.
3.There's a scene in the X Men where Magneto uses a necklace to cut the throats of a bunch of soviets' cops is what comes to mind for me.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Harry didn’t even try to destroy Lasciel’s coin, it would take something with a greater power than a Fallen Angel. Uriel has that power but can’t use it. I doubt Hades has that power. I doubt Ethnui has that power.

Now in multiple cultures you have the trope of placing pennies on a dead man’s eyes, but what if instead you placed a Denarius on the Eye? Would/could that destroy it and the Fallen Angel? Probably, eventually. That and the Spear gave Namshiel pause for thought, not for his host, but for himself.

Harry has the tools to kill angels. He is the Penny flatterer of Fate. Nickel heads beware, he knows how to kill Nicky AND Anduriel.

Nicky, yes, he knows how to kill him.  But Anduriel?  No, he hasn't the power to do that, if the coins and their inhabitants could be destroyed, it would have been done long ago.
