difference between coins, tokens, medals, and rounds--
except for coin collectors.
True. As a stamp and cover collector, I cringe when I hear someone call it
an envelope when to me it is a "cover."
Also, a first day cover and event cover are not the same thing.

Again, this subject will not be solved because
everyone disagrees, so how about everyone call them
what they want.
It is a situation like with meteorite collectors-- almost nobody knows the
difference between meteoroids, meteors, and meteorites, and almsost nobody
cares
about the difference-- except for meteorite collectors/meteorite
scientists, who
are annoyed to see the terms misused and quick to correct you. Almost
nobody
knows or cares about the difference between coins, tokens, medals, and
rounds--
except for coin collectors. Expect to have them correct misused terms
when they
hear them.
