OK, I've been thinking about this, and I" don't think the coin thing would work.  Here's why:

1)Just spinning around wouldn't change the trajectory of the coin, it goes straight towards you front or back, you'd have to be stepping around, essentially running in a circle, this would make you very tired. 
2) It's no like swinging womething at the end of a string.  It's moving towards you.  That coin is moving fast enough to pierce skin, to change the trajectory, you'd have to move faster than it is, otherwise it would just crash into you.
3)If you tried to pull it any slower, it probably wouldn't be able to defy gravity and would be dragged towards you on the ground.

Feel free to correct me on any of these points, this is just what I came up with.

Or, maybe it's the reverse.  They suck the Allomantical powers out of the metals inside them and into their bodies.  The main downfall of Allomancy is that the burner can't get the power in bursts like the feruchemists can (without duralumin that is)  So that would explain why the Inquisitors are so powerful, they can suck the power out in short burst without Duralumin, and then they need to rest while they wait for their metals to "recharge," just like the Well that's controlling them.  Wow what a brain burst!

Hemaglobin=blood
Metalurgy= metals
Hemalurgy= blood metals

Hemlurgy, Alendi, Vin, and the fifteenth metal, they seem to be working their way into multiple threads.

Your right sorry , gosh I'm saying emabarassing things, sorry.  I also said somewhere that pewter was external which it isn't so, that was a goof too.

My guess is that only Kandra can kill Kandra, and that is why the Mistborn could kill them.  They are thier own only weakness.  Mistborn can control Kandra, and make them kill eachother.

I agree with the Statlin city theory, and I think it runs true with who the Lord ruler is.  He actaully was very cautious for a person who under almost all conditions needn't fear death.

You guys are forgetting something though, the piercing Alendi has aren't a Khlennium tradition, they're Terris.  The Terris World Bringers decided he was the Hero, and then gave him the piercings to mark him.  That's why Rashek thinks he wears the piercings unjustly, he thinks a Terrisman should be wearing them, and why would Rashek think a Terris person should wear Khlennium jewelery when he hate Khlennium.  I agree that the piercings (both Alendi's and Vin's) probably help them hear the well of ascension, and have something to do with the well spirit.  For all I know they could be hemalurgy.  But we don't know for sure.  I don't think Alendi had inquisitor of any kind, I think his piercings were external because they marked him as the hero.  I also agree that he must have had some kind of power, to be competent enough for Kwaan to be worried, but I'm not sure it's Hemalurgy.

atium is made up, so it would be highly impossible for any of us to tell what it is alloyed with.  I had another little brain burst, about the mists benig gaseous metal on the Ruin/Preservation thread.  I for one still think it's water vapour, but if it was metal it could be the compliment to the metal elend ate: one creates allomancy, the other strengthens it.  Vin does say, she "burned the mists like metal," or something like that.  Just a thought though, so tell me what you think.  There's more detail on the other thread if you want to check it out.
