Pawns can be two-sided, although they can't be laid flat - at least the ones we make. Does that give them two dimensions?

That's an interesting insight and food for thought. Because they're so
different in form and function, I never thought of piecepack coins and
tiles as lying along a coins/tiles "dimension".
Would the equivalent for dice be dice /sides/? Are pawns distributed
along a "compactified" dimension, because there are only 4 of them?

The coins could have four dimensions on one side and five dimensions on the other, although that might get a bit crowded. Instead of dice, a set of 10 coins, one for each dimension. Either that or tetrahedral or octahedral dice. Kilopack, anyone?
