I made the word up. Doesn't really exist. Well, I guess it does
exist now, but you won't find it in the dictionary. If I was asked to write a formal definition for Webster's it
would probably look something like this:
coinflation[ koin-fley-shuhn
] noun. 1. A persistent rise in the metal value of silver and base metal coins. 2. An inflationary effect on coins.
3. The difference between the metal value and face value in coins.
How would you use it in a sentence? How about, "Since coinflation
is accelerating, I'm not going to dump these pennies into the Coinstar machine at the market and receive face
value." Or, "I'm not seeing many copper cents in circulation anymore, I'm guessing we're seeing a little
coinflation here." My wife uses the word in a sentence all the time, "Quit working on your stupid coinflation
website and let's go out for Chinese food."
