How do I remove a specific instance on click

Question

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to code a little game where instances of objects should get randomly spawned and once you click on them,
they should be "despawned" with a little animation.
I got most things set up but I don't seem to get how to access the instance properly. Here is a code snippet:
function spawnObject()
   var randomNumber1 = Math.ceil(Math.random()*100);
  var randomNumber2 = Math.ceil(Math.random()*100);
  if(randomNumber1>=95 && randomNumber2 >= 90)
  addChild(goldCoin);
  goldCoin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, despawnCoin);
  else if (randomNumber1>=95 && randomNumber2 <= 60)
  addChild(copperCoin);
  copperCoin.name.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, despawnCoin);
function killcoin(e:Event){
//Animation will go here
  removeChild(???);
I don't really know how to remove the Child properly.
Especially since this function can get called often so that there are multiple gold/copper coins on screen for example and I only want to "despawn" the one that I click on.
Do you have any Idea on how to do that?

use:
function spawnObject()
   var randomNumber1 = Math.ceil(Math.random()*100);
  var randomNumber2 = Math.ceil(Math.random()*100);
  if(randomNumber1>=95 && randomNumber2 >= 90)
  addChild(goldCoin);
  goldCoin.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, despawnCoin);
  else if (randomNumber1>=95 && randomNumber2 <= 60)
  addChild(copperCoin);
  copperCoin.name.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, despawnCoin);
function killcoin(e:Event){
//Animation will go here
  removeChild(e.currentTarget);
