I thought that, in numismatic terms, what we've been using all this time aren't actually coins, but tokens.
A "coin" is minted with some intrinsic value. We haven't seen the likes of that since clad copper has been used to make our dimes, quarters, half-dollars, and dollars. They have instead become "tokens", which have a represented value— very much like a paper note does.

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
