After fishing them from a pocket, it probably takes as much time to stack them neatly as it does to just spread them out and pick out the ones you need. There's no real benefit I can perceive in pre-organizing coins, that are already visually distinct, just to let the ones you don't need go right back to jumbling in your pocket. Granted none of that prevents me from doing it anyway, or making sure all my paper currency is face-forward, right side up and in order of denomination. Thankfully I'm at least not compelled to further sort them chronologically and/or by serial number.
