Actually, my girlfriend gives me a hard time over my pockets because they bulge a little with the things I carry. She’s joked that I should get a “man purse”. I refuse.
Anyway, I can’t carry “just a wallet”. I mean come on… I’m surprised you try. I carry a wallet (in the front pocket for precisely the reason you mention), my cell phone (in my pocket because clipping to my belt self identifies me as a geek too much), my keys in the other front pocket (gotta have those), and a second key chain with various tools (mini leatherman, USB key drive, mini LED flashlight). I actually use something on that extra tool chain every day. If I didn’t use something on that chain at least once a week, I’d take off that item.
The coin thing is tricky. My trick is to minimize the change I carry by never having more than $1 in change, and to put it in the bottom of the pocket and have my wallet on top of it. The wallet generally keeps my change from falling out.
