This is weird to me - do you really have more strange coins than glimmer?

I just get my heavy ammo synth from the gunsmith - I usually buy 10 or so every time I hit 25000 and can't redeem more goodies at the Cryptarch. I never have enough coins - I currently have 5, up from 3 last week, so wasting them on something I can buy for less than 1000 glimmer seems... well, extravagant.

Honestly, glimmer wasn't really an issue for me until the expansion.

I stocked up on heavy ammo for my newly leveled Gjallarhorn in preparation for Crota's End. I spent roughly 45 of the 60 heavy ammo synths I had in that first 6-7 hour session. (I now know that that was in large part the fault of the Vault of Glass boots I had that "give extra heavy ammo" but really have a major bug that takes it away from you instead).

Additionally, leveling the new gear to up to 31+, and leveling new weapons takes a lot of glimmer. On top of that, Xur's upgrades all cost between 7,000-8,000 glimmer each!!?!! Since I want to at least have the option of purchasing 2-3 of those upgrades on Fridays, I can't afford to spend my glimmer on copious amounts of heavy ammo, which made last Friday extra sad since I was pretty much out of heavy ammo and Xur didn't give me a chance.

I'm really hoping that now that I bought (and leveled) some Sojourn boots from Dead Orbit last night, my heavy ammo won't be hemhorraging so rapidly anymore.
