So-Called Dollars are a genre of commemorative medals and coins that were produced primarily in the United States during the 19th and early 20th centuries. These items often commemorate specific events, anniversaries, or notable individuals and were not officially issued as legal tender. The term "So-Called Dollar" derives from the fact that many of these pieces were similar in size and weight to the silver dollar. An example is the 1826 So-Called Dollar, which was issued to celebrate the completion of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, reflecting significant historical and cultural milestones in American history.
