[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 5301450, member: 112"]And therein lies the crux of the problem - everybody has their own personal definitions - for just about everything ! Based on who's definition ? As this thread clearly indicates there are many different definitions being applied. In the dictionary, and in a numismatic context, this is the definition of coin - [ATTACH=full]1223463[/ATTACH] [URL]https://www.google.ca/search?as_q=definition&as_epq=coin&as_oq=&as_eq=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&lr=&cr=&as_qdr=all&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&safe=images&as_filetype=&tbs=[/URL] So, as determined by the dictionary, an ASE is definitely not a coin since it CANNOT be used as money ! But based on one's personal definitions, well an ASE can be just about anything you want it to be. As I said to begin with, that is the crux of the problem. People will almost inevitably default to their own person definitions instead of using those listed in the dictionary. And they will do so with just about everything. And THAT is factual ! ;)[/QUOTE]
