FAIR's Response

Fact checking results: The author has stated erroneous information or misinterpreted their sources

Joseph Smith never claimed that "coins" were mentioned in the Book of Mormon. The actual text of the 1830 Book of Mormon does not mention coins. The word "coins" was added in the 1920 edition to the chapter heading for Alma 11.
