7. Please add any other questions to the list.

Do you think gallions are really "great gold coins the size of hubcaps"? p. 77 US hardback edition.

Geoff:
No. It is obviously hyperbole - like "I've got a hundred and one things to 
do before I can go out shopping".

When I last had a car with hubcaps, they were about 15 inches in diameter. 
Try putting those in the pocket of your robes....

I visualise galleons as being around the size of a UK two pound coin, i.e. 
about an inch across.
