A coin in a pocket on Shabbat

Hi,

If there is a coin in one's pocket from before Shabbat, and one left it there intentionally, then the garment as a whole might be muktzeh as a basis l'davar ha'assur. This status would remain even if the garment were upended and the coin fell out.

If the pocket incorporates the garment itself as a wall of the pocket, then the garment is muktzeh as a basis.

If the pocket is an independent piece of material which is only suspended from the garment, then the garment is not a basis.

(Shemirat Shabbat k'Hilchatah 20:70-72)

Have a great day,
Mordechai
