For one, you can likely take a hardened adamantine coin and draw a smiley on a diamond with it.
But I'm not sure, it's incredibly resilient, but I suspect to dresdenites, the fact that it often embodies resilience is probably a bigger deal.
We can Dragon Dream and swap feats relatively easily, actually. Not that someone married to Lya and sky-high Spellcraft couldn't retrain a couple crafting feats. It'd probably be hilarious in that "100% high-octane dragon fuel" way.

I'm just imagining a humiliating scene for Dresden where he has to go to Viserys to find something.

Well you know, there's this set of thirty silver items that keep on finding their way out into the world and are mighty hard to track...

Ground a ward on it so that it has to be "destroyed" before the ward breaks.
Imbue an object (like a trench coat) with a fraction of it's hardness.
Throw it at someone. Throw it. Really hard.

Dresden: You know, I know a Gate that this could be pretty great at reinforcing.
Viserys: How big is it?
Dresden: Um, well...
Viserys: No, seriously, how big.
Dresden: *motions at a skyscraper* That size on each side? Ish?
Viserys: Hold my beer.

He'd probably try to destroy them on principle. Either freeing the beings within or killing them. He's not a "literal eternal torment" kind of guys. To say nothing of how dangerous they are.
Though he might actually not be able to. Simply given how powerful they are.
Still... What a miracle can't destroy, it can certainly tell you how to destroy it.

You clearly named yourself after a ridiculous supervillain who snorted drugs in battle for power, and you somehow picked a profile picture that looks less like an Angel and more like a dog.I refuse on the principle that that name is silly
'TIS THE LAND OF SILLY NAMES, MY DEAR!
And it's a pretty great cover too. Good enough for all Companions to recognise him, yet safe enough to help against Scrying and whatnot.
And this is a Dresden cross. We can't have a protagonist who takes himself too seriously!
"You must travel to Mount Doom, deep in the lands of the Shadow, and cast the Coin into the fired of the earth's heart!"
"Oh, is that all? You had me worried there for a second!"
Actually, the coins are prisons. According to WOJ, they confine the 30's influence to Earth, and destroying them is a BAD idea.

Die.
Snrk. Not exactly what I had in mind, but still funny.

Viserys sniffs the blackened Denarius, licks it, then examines it closely with a glowing Jeweler's Loupe, all the while ignoring the inarticulate screaming of the coin's occupant. "You've got an outrageiously potent bit of Evil stuffed in this coin."
"Well, yeah, there's a Fallen Angel in it," snarked Harry from across the room, his Shield Bracelet readied should the insane Dragonman suddenly turn into a possessed and insane Dragonman.
"That's not terribly impressive. My Imperium employs dozens of Fallen Angels. No, this has the feel of a minor godling, perhaps even a demigod as my people judge such beings."
"You're not easing my mind here."
"Don't worry. It'll make an excellent Heart Tree."

I mean, yes. But even if Viserys can't work out a way to kill them, I expect he could acquire any of them out in circulation barring a few. The main exception being Anduriel. Old Nic would be problematic even for him, I suspect.

Mindbender is, for all intents and purposes, a 1 level class, as that gets you telepathy. I considered getting it for Viserys when our sixth level came around, just for that dip.
Very smart.
At Hardness 30, it's absurdly hard to damage, much less destroy.
I mean, your average Holy Avenger has Hardness 20 when held by a paladin, becoming a +5 sword and all. That's baseline for adamantine.
Another 10/10 accurate omake.
We'd absolutely take that as a challenge.

And it's not like we aren't already working on removing souls from coins...

To be fair to you and @Goldfish on this, something to note is that Viserys doesn't have access to any of his divine vending machines. It's one of the several limiting factors present in the series, as if they could connect it would be trivial for him to get home.

Sure he does. He can make a sacrifice to his Runestaff.
EDIT: Also, something to keep in mind, the Runestaff's raven summoning ability? The Old Gods get to look through their eyes. That's probably important for your omake series.

They also metaphysically cannot be hidden forever. The coins want to be found, and coincidences will start occurring until they are, iirc. And I would probably estimate Anduriel as being metaphysically equivalent to a Lord of a Circle, and the others at about the level of something that reports to one directly.

I don't think they're there until we've finished their gear but deliveries of all kinds should be inspected and once they are there at least one should be hanging around the Lys Tree at all times.

@Snowfire I've been thinking about it.
Random option for pretty much any occasion? Viserys has it. In your Omake you've almost gone overboard, but kind of peddle the line "Viserys would find X difficult".
I think the whole "oh yeah now I remember, at level 18 Viserys could just cast Miracle" sort of implies that at this point even you've lost track at all the tools Viserys has.
To be honest you could have him lose his Grimoire and he would still have a tool for every occasion, he'd just have to be more conservative, and in a battle of stamina, while you have scenarios with people flinging around replicated effects that do what they expect of them, his most "mainstay" stamina related feat is being able to retain a 9th level spell slot, using his Erupt page of spell knowledge (or possessing any other 9th level Fire spell) and doing 9d6+9 damage.
With it there's no earthly reason why he shouldn't have dozens of spells of lower level to conserve the higher circle ones, one of which can replicate any 8th Level or lower effect.
Maximized Dispelling Searing Agonizing Breathweapon is just the tip of the ice burg. Find scary beast that is more of a pain in the ass but usually avoidable in the Dresden verse, something that's dangerous but not exactly brimming with laser focus intellect.
Now cast Dominate Monster on it.

Maybe, he'd probably carry a lot more in jewels, as it's much more concentrated currency. Gold is never not accepted, tho, so always useful to have.
Besides, DP renamed our old bag of holding to "Satchel of the Crimson Wyrm" because we always keep a gigantic collection of random shit inside.
You'd probably have to roll over five random tables to generate a piece of loot drawn from it, considering it can countain anything from Pit Fiends telling you they are "totally genies" and will "grant you a wish, really that's how these things always go" if you just break this little gem... to turtle food.
