508a) Yes, it makes sense for a mathematically inclined alien species to optimize things like that in their currencies.
Not all optimisations are equal. Having that many different coins means that you have to recognise the values of that many different coins, which might not automatically come under Intuitive Mathematician even if the adding-up does; so that part will take longer even if counting them out is quicker.
