So u trust Lady (sorry, again) in statement, she wont steal your stuff, but can't trust she won't buy it? WTF?
One is a (theoretically*) hidden crime, the other is a blatant crime. When the crime is not visible, it causes no damage to the criminal's reputation*, and the need for a good reputation is what keeps a trader from committing crimes.
* In practice, unless it's done on a really small scale (at which point the effort:reward ratio exceeds honest work) the effect of this will be noticeable; the number of Crowns in circulation is small enough to make these new Crowns flood the market, which 1) makes it obvious enough something shady is going on, which reduces trust in Dis's trading efforts; and 2) would cause massive inflation, which in turn leads to lack of trust in the currency, and traders would abandon the Crown.

Minting faction mints coins to buy my items for free.
But the coins are backed by value items, indirectly. You can buy items from Dis (the faction that mints the coins) with them. If they ever refuse to accept Crowns as payment, please speak up - it would have drastic implications for the value of the Crown. This in turn places a great burden on Dis to keep selling goods for Crowns; their currency would lose its value without that. It really isn't to their advantage to blatantly cheat the system here.
Those are coin foods. Coin foods are, like, totally different from food coins.
