<p>[QUOTE="KSorbo, post: 4974531, member: 56370"]I agree that this is complicated. It may help to add an exclusion for things shaped like everyday objects that haven’t historically been used as a medium of exchange. That way a Byzantine scyphate or a denarius serratus can still be classified as a coin, while a bottle cap is not a coin, even if “minted” under the authority of a coin producing superpower like Liberia or Niue. Also, I would vote to exclude non-metal items such as my Transnistrian composite plastic “chip” set. I think the word “token” can be used more liberally to account for such items.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
