/**
 * A coin the player collects by walking into it.
 *
 * It says so once, as `collected`, and leaves the world. Counting is somebody else's job —
 * `goal-exit.ts` — so a coin never needs to know how many there are.
 *
 * The contact is `onTrigger`, which needs three things in the scene: a collider with
 * `isTrigger: true` (the volume), a `trigger` component (what fires), and a body on the player —
 * the character controller's capsule is one.
