Please point me to the location where I will find definitions of the different types of Exonumia.  

E.g. what is a saterical medal, access token, deposit token, etc? What is the difference between a confinement token and a confinement voucher?

Is this something that exists?

Right now we only have GUIDLINES for coins and banknotes, so you should look what we have in the individual categories and orientate yourself on the content. 

Discussion is HERE

BOINC

Is this something that could be started?  This could be very useful in keeping things organized.  

Looking through all of the existing items, I am confused on even the difference between a token and a medal.

token <> medal

it could be nice if it is added to the FAQ

token <> medal

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal

Those two articles clearly explain the difference.  My question is if that type of information could be put into a page that would be a quick reference for all the different catagories of exonumia.

But even this information on wikipedia is not totally consistant with numista.  The wikipedia page states that “token coins or trade tokens are coin-like objects used instead of coins."  However, numista has advertising tokens that are not used instead of coins like these N#86159  I think it might be helpful to have this, especially for those of us who are not as experienced. 

 That link does not work - there is a dot at the end. This one does work.

Token collector [1600-1899] with some coins

I agree with you. “Advertising tokens” are more medals as token.  The “ Promotional items” are between the Commemorative medals

 and Souvenir medals. That gives a indication that they are not realy ‘to pay something’.

 

I hope we will get in the futur clear definitions for the different categories.
