Well, I am a female, too, and this is exactly why I do not like the dollar coin. Since they are so bulky, men end up giving them to the women to carry in their purse. We lived in a European Union country for a while, and I can testify to how d*** heavy a purse can get with those dollar coins.

Also, it's harder to separate those out from the other coins in a coin purse, when in a hurry and not trying to hold up a line, as opposed to grabbing your bills out of your wallet and separating out the ones you need.

It was a royal PIA.
