Hello. 

I am from the French forum and need help with English. 

Some fake Chinese coins are qualified as too much ‘’ fluffy'' to be genuines.

But how will you describe what is a fluffy coin? 

Thanks for your help. 

Regards, 

Do you have some examples  you can give us links to? Looking at the pictures might help us.

I am not sure if something is getting lost in translation but there is a startup cryptocurrency called “fluffy”  introduced by a teenager in the U.S. that many people are interested in and watching . It has very minimal value but you can purchase or mine for these “fluffy coins” very much like Bit Coin or other cryptocurrencies. There are millions of these “fluffy coins" that are virtual and are not actually physical coins. I am hoping this is relevant to your inquiry and think it may be a misunderstanding in concept or  translation. Maybe not.

Maybe fuzzy or lacking detail.

 

My guess is that it was translated from a different language into English as “fluffy.”  It's not a good English word to describe a coin.

Hello. 

Thanks for your help, maybe fuzzy so, and for these i'formarions, always a pleasure. 

I'll try to find where it comes. 

Thanks.

I think this might be a good example of fluffy.

I'm a little confused as it seems you are the one that coined the term “fluffy.”  Where and in what context did you hear it?

I'm sorry I didn't remember, but it came from somewhere. Maybe not specific numismatic term used to communicate. 

 

You answered, thanks a lot, 

If I got it, I ‘’ source it. 

 

Regards, 

Cheers lot of thx. 

I think English speakers might prefer fuzzy.

which describes the poorly struck or even casted replica.

a non-native speaker with a english thesaurus might easily choose fluffy.
