By coining the metal you know is yourself

Hi,

I have no sense with "by coining the metal you know is yourself" in this following sentence.

There is no way you can benefit society more than by coining the metal you know is yourself.

Best Answer -Chosenby Voters attached to the original:

The best way to help your community is by being the best person that you personally can be, instead of trying to improve other people (the "charity begins at home" idea). For your gender issues assignment, think about the women in these plays, and how - by being the best, most effective people that they could be personally, even if it ran counter to what their society dictated - they were able to improve the lives of those around them.

Could any one explain it?

Thank you for your assistance.

Coins are made of various types of metal for use in purchase transactions. The author here is equating the person with a metal that can be made into currency for use in 'purchasing' what you are worth to society.

I have no idea what you are talking about, bepleased. The author of the sentence is not referring to himself. 'You' means everyone or anyone, generally.
