COIN

Anti-guerrilla military doctrine

A coin is a flat, typically round piece of metal issued as money.

Coins are distinguished from paper currency by material and usually by smaller denomination.

The verb means to make coins, or figuratively to invent: Who coined that phrase?

The other side of the coin is an alternative perspective.

To coin a phrase often introduces a cliché with ironic awareness.
