>test pieces cut from a batch of metal

>strips of metal

I mean in essence you just have to look at the word. Coupon is from French couper, which means to cut. So it's a cut-out. It has the same meaning when you look at extreme couponing and metal testing.

Yeah, I didn't think of it as an overly obscure usage, but neither Merriam-Webster or Wikipedia list the definition. Dictionary.com does. Maybe its time to edit Wikipedia over lunch =)
