How do I specify a specific GameObject, and only change the bool of that object using a script on another object?

Basically, what I’m asking is how do I make my coin script tell the mine script, of the mine that spawned the coin originally, that the coin was collected without telling all the mines that I collected a coin.

In our game we have multiple mines, each spawning it’s own coin. Once this happens a bool is set to tell the mine not to spawn another coin. When I collect a coin from any mine, the last one spawned is the only one affected by the bool change, that I am asking the Token script to change when collection has occurred. Which causes a stack of coins to appear.

Coin Script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Token : MonoBehaviour
{
   	private GameObject Coin;
    private Money mscr;
   	public float Worth;
	private MineScript minescr;
    // Use this for initialization
     
    void Start ()
    {
    	mscr = GameObject.Find("GameLogic").GetComponent<Money> ();
		minescr = GameObject.Find("Mine").GetComponent<MineScript> ();
    }
     
    void CollectCoin()
    {
		mscr.money += Worth;
	    Debug.Log("Cha-ching");
		minescr.hasToken = false;
		Debug.Log("Reset to false");
	    Destroy(Coin);
	    Debug.Log("Got collected");

    }
     
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update ()
    {
	    transform.Rotate (Vector3.right * Time.deltaTime * 150);
	    Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
	    RaycastHit hit;
	     
	    if (Physics.Raycast (ray, out hit, 300))
		    {
		    	if (hit.transform == transform)
		    	{
		    		Coin = hit.transform.gameObject;
		    	}
		   		else
		    	{
		    		Coin = null;
		    	}
		    }
		 if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0) && Coin != null)
		    {
		    	CollectCoin();
			}
    }
}

Mine Script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class MineScript : MonoBehaviour 
{
	public float Cooldown;
	private float cd;
	public GameObject token;
	public bool hasToken = false;
	public GameObject Coin;
	private Money mscr;
	public float Worth;
	public bool gotCollected = false;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () 
	{
		mscr = GameObject.Find("GameLogic").GetComponent<Money> ();
		
	}
	

	
	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () 
	{
		if (hasToken == false)
		{
			
			if (cd >= 0)
			{
				cd -= Time.deltaTime;
			}
			else
			{
				cd = Cooldown;
				SpawnToken();
			}
		}
	}
	void SpawnToken ()
	{
		Vector3 pos = new Vector3(transform.position.x,6F,transform.position.z);
		Instantiate(token,pos,Quaternion.identity);
		hasToken = true;
	}
	
}

The easiest way to accomplish this mapping is to establish the link at Instantiate time:

     GameObject go = Instantiate(token,pos,Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
     go.GetComponent<Token>().minescr = this;

Note that ‘minescr’ would need to be made public.
