Real name: Coin
Nicknames: Bit, change, chip, piece, doubloon, or any piece of gaming currency you care to name according to your d2's color and size (copper, silver, electrum, gold, platinum, credit, etc.).

Hated because: When exactly do you "call it"? Always falling on the ground, and then does it count? Somebody might spend it before you need it. Your Two-Face impressions.
