The coins in John Wick are a monetized form of favors.
As Berrada says in John Wick 3, the word 'assassin' refers to 'men who have faith.' A favor, to some degree, is a transaction of faith. Whether a favor is repaid is a matter of faith.
The coins in John Wick thus represent the trade of favors. One to one. Perform a service for someone under the table, you get coins for that service, favors which one could then cash for other services down the line.
The coins as favors could be seen through the Wick films. In John Wick 1, John has a whole case full of coins and is consequently one of the most respected people under the table. The coins represent the store of favors and is indicative of the goodwill John has with people under the table.
In John Wick 2, John loses most of his coins and has to dip into his stash. John, at this state, still has goodwill. But assassins do not hesitate to target John when the contract is put out on him. Which shows that John has lost favor to some degree.
In John Wick 3, John has been excommunicated and is devoid of favours. John has to therefore burn bridges, by using his crucifix and marker with sofia, to survive. Otherwise, John is unable to access the services available under the table once John is excommunicado. At this point, John has little to no coins left.
Furthermore, the theme of owing and being owed favors is quite prevalent in John Wick 2 and 3. It is John's debts that get him dragged into Santino's affairs, and it is debts that force him on the run from the table until John decides to go against the table.
The coins are, therefore, not monetary in value. Instead they are the way people monetize the idea of faith under the table.
