My daughter call the coins in Mario as money

[Khanimus]

Coins are money

 

[slothrop]

That's fine. If she called them dollars it'd be a problem

It seems you daughter is smarter than you, op.

This.

Any kind of money or currency can be considered to be coin in an informal context. In a formal context, only metal stamped and issued by a government can be considered coin. We know the rings from Sonic are made out of gold, as per the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 English manual, though we do not know if they were issued by a government or not.

Ah true that, now that I think about it. Still, saying rings are not the same as coins is still technically correct then.

Money is too broad of a term, so OP is kinda right.

 

[Staticneuron]

Rings can be used as currency like coins, they are not coins though.

What this implies is that while rings aren't coins, it's valid to call rings "money". It's a salient critique of the American healthcare system, of course.

I know I was joking because of all the responses about the games using it as a currency. But even the sounds of you picking them up and them falling out reminds you of coins. So it is even funnier in that context. But to be perfectly honest almost anything can be used for barter and then subsequently be considered currency. That is why despite the usage I still recommend using proper wording even when talking about these fictional game elements.

she's right

So how many chocolate gold coins did you try to spend at your local grocery store before they got really upset at you?

Does kids knows coins these days? Every time I try to make a payment to my colleagues using coins instead of a bank transfer they looks at me as I'm some kind of weirdo.

Let her call it what she wants but every-so-often you say "Ahh grab the coin!" or "Phew almost missed that coin." then she'll catch on eventually.

I guess it depends on her age. But, I say, yes.

Mine calls the rupees in Zelda gems. And treasure chests are treasure boxes. "Daddy get the gem!" And "Ooooh a treasure box!" It's so damn cute.

I remember one time in the sixth grade my friend tried to argue he was smarter than me because all of the games he played had some form of currency so he learned financial management through games.
