Why do coins represent small values of money and notes represent large values? Is there any historical/modern case in which it was the other way around?

coins are smaller than bills so logically it should be of less value

My guess is because coins have been around since civilization itself and as a dollar becomes less and less valuable, rather than making larger or more lavish coins, notes became the reasonable choice. Or maybe it has something to do with how we like to write things down on paper.
I'm talking out of my arse here by the way

Isn't it because notes are easier to store in large amounts than coins?
