Ok, so you're into an auction having a trustless system. I guess almost everything can be applied this technology, you know what I'm saying when bitcoin was borned. A lot of ideas came out and mimicked the idea that it brought to us.
As for the example you have saying about minted coins, I think the correct word should be newly mined coins.

The word "mint" in that context is still OK in my opinion. I understand why some would prefer the word to the other. It conveys the actual meaning (production of new/fresh coin) more.
Mining is more suitable for Bitcoin-like Proof of Work while the other sounds better for the PoS
