Someone else on this board has already given a reasonable hint on this.
However, I'd like to comment that I thought the eventual solution
to getting a "coin" was clever.  Actually, several puzzles in UU1 and UU2
were cute in presenting what looks like a standard puzzle, but has an
unorthodox answer.  Or a more-than-usual number of unnecessary objects,
sometimes as red herrings, and occasionally blatant red herrings. :)
