<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kasia, post: 1748871, member: 31533&quot;]Actually, it depends on the source you use. The U.S. Government (i.e. the treasury at <a href="http://www.treasury.gov/services/Pages/coins-currency.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.treasury.gov/services/Pages/coins-currency.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.treasury.gov/services/Pages/coins-currency.aspx</a> makes it a point to say that The <a href="http://www.moneyfactory.gov/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.moneyfactory.gov/" rel="nofollow">Bureau of Engraving and Printing</a> produces currency and the <a href="http://www.usmint.gov/index.cfm?flash=yes" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.usmint.gov/index.cfm?flash=yes" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #0072bc">U.S. Mint</span></a> produces coins.&quot;. But if you go to Wikipedia at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency</a> you will find that says that &quot;refers to money in any form when in actual use or circulation, as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_of_exchange" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_of_exchange" rel="nofollow">medium of exchange</a>, especially circulating paper money. This use is synonymous with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banknote" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banknote" rel="nofollow">banknotes</a>, or (sometimes) with banknotes plus <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin" rel="nofollow">coins</a>, meaning the physical tokens used for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money" rel="nofollow">money</a> by a government.&quot;. Perhaps it&#039;s because &quot;currency&quot; is the medium of exchange, and if you can make an exchange in coins, then that possibly could be considered &quot;currency&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
