Instead of Append, use Join, i.e.

cobo = Join[coin, coex]

In fact, Append is something to generally avoid using
particularly for large arrays due to the computing resources
used. It will require more memory and is slower. Won't matter
for small arrays like this. But for large arrays, Append is very
much a problem and better replaced with other commands such as Join.
