antique collectibles: coins & bank notes
A form of currency normally used for the exchange of goods.The verb coin literally refers to making coins, the change you probably have in your pocket. The word can be used in a broader sense ? creating something new, usually something related to language. For example, you could coin a phrase or a new word for ?joke.? The language authorities would be proud ? unlike federal authorities if you tried to coin money. That kind of coining is a criminal offense.
