'''Coins''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコイン''' ''Pokémon Coin''), also officially recognized as '''metallic coins''', are one of two types of randomizers that players can use during a Pokémon TCG {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Match|match}}. The majority of coins released for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] are made of plastic with a metallic Pokémon design on the front, which can be of anything from [[starter Pokémon]] and [[Legendary Pokémon]] to designs commemorating a specific event or featuring the original Energy Symbols. Although the majority of coins are made with the current standard of a plastic backing, throughout the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, coins made of cardboard and coins made of metal have also been released. Making coins out of these materials has since fallen out of practice for [[The Pokémon Company]] and their subsidiaries, thus most are not recognized as standard randomizers for TCG matches and must be approved by both players. Additionally, the head judge of the tournament has the right to disallow any randomizer if there is reason to believe that the randomizer is unsuitable.
