In the context of the United States, coins such as the early colonial currency and coins produced during key periods like the Civil War reflect the nation's history. Notable examples include the 1794 Flowing Hair Dollar and the 1909-S V.D.B. Lincoln Penny. The French New World, including territories like Louisiana, features coins such as the French livre and later, local currency influenced by both French and American numismatic traditions.
