Coin or Exonumia?

What exactly determines whether a token belongs in the "Coins" or "Exonumia" catalogue?

What do you think should be added to the description in the Guidelines?

​I'm not sure. This is the description for coins: "A rigid piece of material that has a determined value (denomination) within a currency system."

Apparently certain tokens count, but others don't, and I'm not sure I understand the distinction.

This doesn't count: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia259373.html

But this does: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces238308.html

What makes one of them a "coin", and the other "exonumia"?

I don't think it's always black and white. I'm sure there are "tokens" in the coin catalog that could just as easily belong in the exonumia catalog and vice versa. Sometimes it just comes down to the referee who accepts the new token/coin.

Further down in the same document referenced above is this definition of a coin that is "token" type:

Token: for coin-like objects that were issued privately and could be used in limited commercial activities:

• for specific products, goods, or services
  
• within specific institutions, organisations or private companies
  
• for specific events
  

Lots of room for interpretation.

Conder tokens and the likes (notgeld/emergency money) are generally in the main catalog everything else privately made from this category you'll find usually under exonumia.

Yes many of the tokens in the coin catalog are notgelds but the coin catalog contains over 2,000 "tokens" many of which are not conder or notgeld.

Canada had dozens of "Bank Tokens" pre-confederation due to lack of central government minting "real money" and those circulated as money and were issued by either the provinces or financial institutions (Banks). I guess the distinction is weather the issuer is a government or government "authorized" one or a private issue, and also to consider is the general use, i.e. was it used and accepted as cash by the general population (customers and shops)?.
But I admit this is open to interpretation and so there will be some discrepancies.
