From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
A coin, in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, is used in a variety of ways, from Energy cards to Pokémon attacks.
Types of coins
A coin can be a real, monetary coin, or a special metal or cardboard disk with a Pokémon on it, or any small, flat object that has the same chance of landing on either of two sides when flipped. In some cases, the player may prefer to use a die rather than a coin.
The standard coin given out with starter packs in the Diamond & Pearl series of cards is either gold or silver with a Poké Ball on one side and Munchlax on the other.

In the games
In Template:Card GB 2, there are a number of collectible coins that can be obtained by the protagonist, Mark or Mint. These coins are used as proof of achievements within the game, much like Gym Badges from the main series or the medals from the previous TCG Game Boy game. In addition to marking achievements, the player may choose one of their coins to use in duels for coin flips in place of their original coin. The appearance and purpose of these coins mimic the real-life collectible coins.
