So-Called Dollars refer to a specific category of medallic items issued primarily in the United States, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. These items, often made of silver or other metals, commemorate events, people, or anniversaries, and while they resemble coins, they are not official currency. The term "So-Called Dollars" was popularized by the publication "So-Called Dollars" by Harold A. S. Smith, which catalogs these items. The 1906 So-Called Dollar, specifically, commemorates the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and reflects the era's interest in souvenir and commemorative coinage.
