<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 212815, member: 4626&quot;]A catalog or two published more than 25 years ago is hardly support for the assertion that it is a commonly used term <i>now</i>.&nbsp; Do you have any support from a variety of current and reliable sources that show it is a commonly used term now?</p><p><br /></p><p>Not trying to be a jerk about it or anything, but if you want to make the assertion that &quot;medal-coin&quot; is a term currently used by a siginficant number of experts in the field currently, it would require several current and reliable sources to back that up.&nbsp; I have never heard this term used before I came to this website, and even here, only by you.&nbsp; I get the impression that very few in the numismatic field have ever used the term, and almost none do now.&nbsp; At best it&#039;s just a pejorative term already covered by the term NCLT (non-circulating legal tender) that is already well known and in common use in the numismatic field.&nbsp; Why not just use that?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no love of what I consider the junk produced by some countries that are clearly only designed for collectors that commemorate people and events that have absolutely no connection to the country that produced them (heck, I abstain from even quite a few US commemoratives if I don&#039;t find the design interesting or it doesn&#039;t commemorate something I find interesting) but I don&#039;t see why a new term (or an old, seldom used term) needs to be employed when terms already well known and in common use suffice to describe them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
