The E-Sylum: Volume 3, Number 32, August 6, 2000, Article 6

LET'S SEE THEM TRY TO SLAB THAT!

Dick Johnson writes:

"Please! No more of those awful definitions of coin, medal, token, jeton. Namely:

MEDAL: CoinNews (UK) define the term in their 2000 Yearbook as "A piece of metal bearing devices or given as an award."

This is atrocious! Half the objects made in the last 150 years by hundreds of metalworkers worldwide, like Scovill (brass manufacturer, Waterbury) -- including nail-heads, lady's compact covers to manhole covers -- would fit this definition."
