And while on the subject of coins. One thing I have noticed at
FL/Championship/Premiership games is that after the coin toss
the referee invariably runs across to the 4th Official and hands
the coin over to them. Why? Surely that miniscule bit of extra
weight can't affect running speed. I always refereed with the
coin in my shorts back pocket. I wonder if there is a directive
that this practice of handing over the coin is followed or is
there some reason I am not understanding ?

It is in the Laws, and it does specify a coin.
Kick off
PROCEDURE
the team that wins the toss of a coin decides which goal it will
attack in the first half
their opponents take the kick-off
the team that wins the toss takes the kick-off to start the
second half
However the punishment is out of all proportion to the
"offence." A case where a slap on the wrist would have been
totally appropriate.

Keith Hackett says its a draconian punishment.

To quote @refsupportuk on twitter: They could have said. “As a
coin is not compulsory we have advised the team of four about
their collective responsibilities and have forward a proposal to
IFAB for a Law change to Law 5 in regards to a coin being
compulsory “ that fits the crime better.

In my opinion the person or persons who ordered this disgusting
and outrageous sanction should indeed be severely sanctioned
themselves. If this is correct the game is dead.

Do you not think it’s dead anyway? Take this payment to
Scudamore, for example.

I agree that this is grossly out of proportion, but why wouldn't
it have been possible to go back, or send someone back, to the
dressing room to collect a coin?
In a semi parallel context I recall a conductor at the Proms, I
think it was Parvo Berglund in his Bournemouth Symphony
Orchestra days, forgetting his baton and returning off stage to
collect it amid huge laughter and applause.
As a National North watcher David McNamara seems to me to be one
of the best around, I hope this doesn't damage any promotion
prospects.

Was he banned from the Proms for three years?

This has nothing do to with proportionality or slightly
different precedents.
It is all to do with the FA promoting women's football. If it
had happened in a male game there would have been no such
action.
In the FA's blinkered eyes anything which could be thought to
trivialise women's football is to be dealt with severely!
