During [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], [[Wizards of the Coast]] produced cardboard and metal coins for the English release of the TCG, while Japan produced coins out of plastic. From [[Generation III]]-onwards, the vast majority of coins in all territories are made out of plastic, with other materials only used for commemorative merchandise and events.

Japanese metallic coins have featured 6 different backing designs since their introduction in October 1996. The most frequent design started in the English EX Series and the Japanese ADV Era and features a [[Poké Ball]] design and the [[Pokémon]] logo. This design has continued to this day with only minor copyright changes. When Wizards of the Coast lost the license for the card game for {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire}} onwards, coins released for English audiences were imported from Japan and distributed in English products. This remained true until August 2010 and the release of the {{TCG|Undaunted}} expansion. All coins for international audiences after this month are produced by [[The Pokémon Company International]], however, leftover stock of the standard sized Japanese coins were still included in TCG merchandise up until April 2014, when the stock was exhausted. English coins started featuring the '''™''' trademark distinction on the back in August 2010, while Japanese coins maintained the '''®''' (Registered) trademark symbol until [[Generation IV]] in November 2019 when they also switched over to the'''™''' trademark.
