I got the drift, but not the reference, and I never did ask him to explain.
If I remember correctly the little popouts from electrical junction boxes (pre punched opening...you have to punch it out to get the hole open and then put romex or the like through) are pretty much the same size as a nickel and some people tried to use them as legal tender..... with the results the most people were told they were worthless, though I would guess some very early vending machines could have been fooled
