Abstract: A computational model is defined to explain the distribution of coin content of French people's purses as obtained from a sequence of surveys carried out in France during the years 2002 and 2003. The agreement between theoretical and experimental data is noticeable. The model predicts the purse content in both Dollar and Yen monetary areas.
