So people make arcane coin and then arcane coin become less coin and then people are buying arcane coin for more than its worth.

Not really, but I accidentally did that once.

Cassion is a planet made of metal home to the magic of flipping coins

Spoiler

The world of Cassion glittered with reflected metals, all sparkling in unison beneath the lights of the stars. The city thrived in the winter. Walking from behind a metallic square skyscraper, a man with a black leather jacket and a smug look appears. The stars did a poor job at illuminating him. His face featured ugly eyes, ugly marks, and ugly wrinkles, yet there was a sense of youth within the man. He had turned only a few years ago, and had done a poor job at staying out of trouble.

A new determination could be seen surging through the man as he took long strides towards the end of the alley. He held a round piece of metal between his fingers, flipping it from side to side, inspecting every engraving on it. It was a coin.

The man hadn’t obtained it easily. It took multiple years of tracking to find the original wielder, and then a few days to finally finish the deed. Coins this powerful were so rare and valuable, but holding one in your hand was a blessing. In the world of Cassion, every coin was valuable. Coins were life or death. Coins were powerful. Coins were also illegal.

Flaunting your coins was a dangerous thing to do. It could get you killed before you could even speak the words, “Heads or tails.” This man was an outlaw the moment he set a finger upon a coin. The police were no more than a step behind him. 

And so they appeared! They turned the corner, confronting the man with the magical piece of copper and zinc between his fingers. They wielded powerful heat-ray guns, capable of melting a man and his metal into no more than a crumpled piece of slag. They aimed at him, clearly intending to immolate him with the heat of the sun in a shot. But the man flipped the coin first. For all the seconds the coin was in the air, it was as if time slowed down. The outlaw spoke. 

“Heads or tails.”

The Chief of Police, the Head Tracker already knew the stakes. The coin flip could be rigged against him, or it could be a reverse strategy, or it could be a fated coin. Once a coin was in the air, the complexity of the situation increased hundredfold. The law enforcer spoke:

“I’ll take heads.”

The coin fluttered in the air, traveling through its straight arc, coming back down to land between the coin flipper’s thumb and forefinger. He held it up to the Head Tracker so he could see clearly. It was heads.

Immediately, a sigh of relief came from the senior police leader. If you won a coin flip, chances were that you were safe. Luck, fate, and chance were all on his side. He raised his gun to finish the ordeal, but then the man opened his hand.

In the palm of his opponent’s hand, the Head Tracker could clearly see he was outwitted. The coin he was actually holding was faced towards him, with the clear silver engravement of the River, the backside of the coin.

“Tails.”
