Retrieving balances of a coin

Balances of a coin can be tracked specifically by the user who's balance it is, rather than an address of the token:

So, if my account was 0x12345, and I wanted the balance of 0x1::aptos_coin::AptosCoin in that account I would run:

  coin::balance<0x1::aptos_coin::AptosCoin>(0x12345)

[0xbe1]

Not possible. a CoinType has to be passed in.
