This article is about monetary coins. For other meanings see:
Coin (disambiguation) A coin is usually a piece of hard material, usually
metal or a metallic material, usually in the shape of a
disc, and most often issued by a government. Coins are used as a form of
money in transactions of various kinds, from the everyday circulation of the
United States quarter, to the storage of vast amounts of bullion. In the present day, coins and
banknotes make up the cash forms of all modern money systems. Coins made for circulation (general
monetized use) are usually used for lower-valued units, and banknotes for the higher values; also, in most money systems, the highest value coin is worth less than the lowest-value note. The face value of circulation coins is usually higher than the gross value of the metal used in making them.

Coín
Coín is a town and
municipality in
Málaga province,
Spain, about 20 miles west of the provincial capital,
Málaga and 20 miles north of Marbella.With an official population of just over 20,000 inhabitants, Coín is perhaps the most up and coming inland town on the Costa Del Sol. Foreigners now make up a substantial proportion of the towns inhabitants and are attracted to Coín due to the fact it is only 25 minutes from the beautiful beaches of
Málaga and
Marbella, including the 50 km stretch of coastline in between which includes the popular resorts of
Torremolinos,
Fuengirola and
Benalmadena. Coín however retains its original small Spanish town look and feel.
