What does RECOIN mean in Scrabble?
verb
historical
To mint coins anew, especially by melting down and reissuing an existing currency, or to coin a phrase again in a new way.
Recoin was used historically when a government withdrew worn or debased coins and struck fresh ones from the same metal, a process called recoinage that several countries carried out to restore trust in their currency. The word is also used more loosely for coining a phrase or expression again, giving old words a new form. Today the currency sense is mostly historical, tied to specific episodes of monetary reform.
