Metal disc currency
The basic meaning of coin, a metallic disk used as money, gives rise to many common expressions.
Two sides of the same coin are two perspectives or aspects of the same thing.
A coin toss is a way of deciding something, based on which side of a coin is facing up after tossing it into the air.
If you coin a word or expression, you invent it to suit some occasion.
