Galleons and Knuts only, surely?

Or, rather more seriously, how _do_ werewolves who live within wizarding 
society deal with money? Either they simply don't handle sickles (and 
would have to explain this at every transaction); they wear gloves, use 
tissue paper to isolate the coins from their hands, etc; or the coins 
are in fact made of some base metal, rather than the silver (and, for 
Galleons, presumably not gold either) that we've always thought they are.
