Metal money (4)

I believe the answer is:

coin

'metal money' is the definition.
(I know that coin is a type of metal money)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for coin that I've seen before include "stamp" , "Make up" , "Invent a word or phrase - for money?" , "Think up" , "American quarter, for example" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, the Newsday, the Penny Press, The Irish Times, The Mirror and the Evening Standard.
