In the UK it's common to carry one to prove your age if you don't have a driving licence. Often, these two documents are the only ones acceptable for proving your age for alcohol purchase.
Hung up in your coat is just asking for trouble, though. A new passport costs something like £80-£100 these days. I wouldn't leave £80 unattended in a coat, so why a passport?
