Hard Times Tokens are a form of collectible coinage issued during the economic downturn in the United States in the 1830s, particularly around 1832. These tokens were often produced privately and were used as a substitute for currency, as the nation faced a shortage of coins. The tokens typically featured various designs and inscriptions, reflecting social, political, or commercial themes of the time. Rulau is a recognized cataloging system for these tokens, providing reference numbers and details on their history, rarity, and attributes. The scarcity of many Hard Times Tokens contributes to their appeal among collectors.
