This is a bit of a simplification, but the term refers to coins that have been spent in commerce. Newly minted coins are shipped to banks for use in change-making. Up to that point the coins are considered to be uncirculated, but once they've been used in retail transactions and mixed with other coins they're said to circulated.

How long do US coins remain in circulation?
it lasts about a few hundred years or so onNot really ...According to the US Mint, most American coins stay in circulation for about 30 to 50 years. Pennies get more use and are more likely to be lost or put away in jars due to their low value, so they go out of circulation somewhat faster.Other countries have had different experiences. For example, England used the same size and similar design of its pennies for about 250 years and fewer Britons collect coins, so some of their pennies stayed in circulation for a century or more.Of course when coins are replaced (e.g. modern British decimal pennies replaced the old ones in 1971, euros replaced marks/francs/lira/etc. in 2002, and so on) the lifespan of those older coins can be quite short.
