coinage
Newly minted term
Coinage is the process of making coins, or coins collectively: gold coinage, the coinage of ancient Rome.
By extension, coinage means the invention of new words or phrases, or the words themselves: The term "nerd" is a relatively recent coinage.
The connection is that both coins and words are minted—stamped into standard form for circulation.
