Okay, here's the question i was pondering for some time....why does it say it includes a metallic coin in the pokemon starter decks....yet..the coin is clearly plastic....am i missing something here?

Plastic is a type of Metal

Really?!?!? LOL

Anyway,

me·tal·lic ([font=verdana,sans-serif] P [/font]) Pronunciation Key (m

-t

l

k)
adj.

1. Of, relating to, or having the characteristics of a metal.
2. Containing a metal: a metallic compound.
3. Having a quality suggesting or associated with metal, especially:
   1. Lustrous;y, sparkling: metallic colors.
   2. Sharp-tasting: an unpleasant, metallic flavor.
4. Harshly resonant: “the strange metallic note of the meadow lark, suggesting the clash of vibrant blades” (Ambrose Bierce).

Definitions 1 and 3 come into play. Though the coin is obviously plastic, it has a characteristic of metal, in the fact the one side is shiny.
