The plastic coin is the only coin in my wallet I won't accidentally spend. Ironically while the replacement is free in theory that single plastic holds _higher_ value to me than a regular coin it replaced.

That's what's always puzzled me as well. There are keychains with such a "coin" magnetically attached, and I've always thought "if I lose a euro, I've lost a euro. If I lose this token, I'll have to buy a whole other keychain!"
Why would I buy something I really don't want to lose to replace something I kinda don't want to lose?
