Dead Coin
Any coin or token that is no longer in use. Various reasons exist why a coin is no longer viable, including being an outright scam, developers abandoning the project, the official website of a coin being offline or unreachable, funding for the development team drying up, and several others.
Example
“BitConnect became one of the most well-known dead coins after it was exposed as a Ponzi scheme and its token value dropped to virtually zero.”
