Phrase | coin |
Text | In this podcast, the word "coin" means a small, circular, metal piece of money, typically representing cents within the dollar: "At the end of the day, they put their coins in this jar, and at the end of each year, they use the money to buy Christmas presents for each other." The phrase "to toss/flip a coin" means to throw a coin in the air and see which side lands facing upward as a way to make a decision: "Whenever the kids argue about who gets to go first, their parents make them flip a coin as an easy way to end the argument." Finally, the phrase "two sides of the same coin" emphasizes the similarity or close connection between two problems or situations: "High investment risk and high potential financial gains are really two sides of the same coin." |
