1838 - Coins

Hard Times Tokens are a type of collectible coin that emerged in the United States during the economic downturns of the late 1830s. These tokens, often made of copper or brass, were issued by private businesses and organizations as a response to the scarcity of official currency and are dated primarily between 1832 and 1844. Rulau cataloged many of these tokens, which feature a variety of motifs reflecting contemporary issues, sentiments, and local businesses. The year 1838 is notable for a significant number of issues, coinciding with worsening economic conditions and public discontent.
