Exonumia

Exonumia is like playing with toy money. When we play with toy money it's not real money, but it looks like it. Exonumia is like that, but for adults.

Exonumia is a fancy word for things that look like coins, but they are not coins. They are often made of metal or other materials, just like coins, and they can be made to look like real currency from different countries.

These things can come in many forms like tokens, medallions, badges, or even casino chips. People collect exonumia because they like the different designs and sometimes they commemorate special events.

So, imagine if you had a toy piggy bank that instead of holding coins, held toy money with different designs and pictures on them. That is kind of like what collecting exonumia is like for adults.
