Are coins incusable material or nonincusable material?

My guess is incusable material.

With a few rare exceptions, coins are metal and can be stamped with "COPY" so they are incusable. A few coins have been made of glass, ceramics, etc and they are non-incusable.

Ebay makes you put copy in the title of all adds if you sell these coins

I've seen some on Ebay with raised "copy" not incuse. My guess is it has to be incuse since the raised "copy" can be ground down.
