First let me define "token coinage" as privately produced tokens which substituted for coinage because none was available. Here are two examples:
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces19595.html
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/exonumia26418.html

My issue is that one of these is listed under "Coins" and the other is listed under "Exonumia." This makes no sense. There needs to be a category under "Coins" for "Token Coinage" and it should mimic Krause. Krause lists both of these in the standard coin catalog, but because they're tokens, they're given a "KM Tn" number instead of just a "KM" number.

They should be under 'Coins', not 'Exonumia', as they were in circulation as though they were coins.
