Im right on the border between doubloons and peso coins and it can be so annoying

I have lived in several different stars and have never heard of the majority of these terms. For reference (I know Texas is big) I lived in Houston TX, MS, NH, UT, and CA.
Edit: Stars = States

Nobody calls change "coinage" anywhere.

I can tell you're not from the northwest
Linktank@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 55d
I've literally never heard anybody call it that and I've been to almost all of those purple states.

I bet you're one of those foreigners coming out here and ordering beer with your big tex tokens

I've never been to the northwestern US, and I also never heard the term coinage. Therefore it must be accurate.

They're the same size as other peso coins so why call them Big Tex Tokens?

I lived in the north east and Texas and have never heard anyone calling money either of those things (pence and Big Tex whatever-the-fucks).
