Early American tokens, such as those documented in Rulau's work from 1808, represent a significant subset of collectible coins from the United States. These tokens were often issued by local businesses and organizations as a form of currency in the absence of a standardized national coinage. They can vary widely in design, material, and purpose, reflecting the social and economic conditions of their time. Collectors value them for their historical importance and the insights they provide into early American commerce and society.
