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.
