What is the difference between a coin and a token?

My younger brother was talking about "coins" and "tokens" all of a sudden. The difference? Who knows about this? I don't understand all these crypto jargons. And if both of them can crash, why should I even care? I'm just trying to survive in this 2026 and not add more headache. I need explanation for this please.

A crypto coin has its own block chain, where as a token doesn't have its own block chain and uses other blochains.
