Substitute for mung beans?

I'm making a lentil curry tonight, and it includes mung beans. I don't have any mung beans, and wont' be able to make it to the store. I have several other kinds of beans, though. Are there any that would be a good substitute? (I haven't done much cooking with beans, and am trying to do more.)

My first thought was adzuki beans. But if you don't eat beans much you may not have those on hand either. Otherwise I would just leave the mung beans out and use more lentils if necessary.

No - I don't have adzuki beans, either.

I found a different one that I'm going to try. It only has lentils, no beans. I'll try to remember to pick up mung beans next time I shop.
