They're the same size as other peso coins so why call them Big Tex Tokens?

I lived in the north east and Texas and have never heard anyone calling money either of those things (pence and Big Tex whatever-the-fucks).

I have lived in several different stars and have never heard of the majority of these terms. For reference (I know Texas is big) I lived in Houston TX, MS, NH, UT, and CA.

Edit: Stars = States

I've never been to the northwestern US, and I also never heard the term coinage. Therefore it must be accurate.
