So-Called Dollars are a type of numismatic item that are often medallions or tokens issued to commemorate specific events, people, or places rather than being official currency. The 1942 edition consists of various pieces typically associated with the United States, including issues celebrating anniversaries or notable occurrences from American history. These items can range in material, size, and design, making them popular among collectors seeking both historical significance and artistic value. The term "One Dollar" in this context does not necessarily indicate that they were intended to circulate as legal tender, but rather that they reflect a nominal value for collecting purposes.
