I can't resist claiming that men have more pockets, and therefore the
comparison is not between similar groups.
Perhaps there is also a Freudian or anthropological explanation. Or it
could be an aesthetic consideration, considering that bulging pockets
may not be considered flattering.
But surely, it is unlikely for men to have a greater need for pocket
change than women. Both sexes have similar needs to use vending
machines, commercial laundry, public transportation and so on, so I'd
rule out an economic motivation. It is more likely to be aesthetic, I'm
guessing. But what is a "large" amount here?
