"A Coin" is a 1997 short story by Bosnian-American author Aleksandar Hemon, published both as a single story in the Winter 1997 issue of Chicago Review[1] and alongside several other short stories in The Question of Bruno,[2] published in 2000.
The story follows Aida, a resident of Sarajevo throughout the Bosnian War, as she sends letters to a narrator placed in Chicago, detailing her experiences as someone deeply involved to a Bosnian who is at a disconnect from the area having left it some time before the conflict had worsened.[3]
