1900 - Coins

Hard Times Tokens are a type of collectible coin that emerged in the United States during the economic downturn of the late 1830s and early 1840s. These tokens were privately issued by businesses and organizations as a means of providing currency in an era when coin shortages were prevalent. The tokens typically featured various designs and inscriptions, often reflecting political sentiments or promoting local businesses. Rulau, a recognized numismatic author, has documented these tokens extensively, detailing their history and varieties. Coins issued as Hard Times Tokens are sought after by collectors, especially those dating around 1900, as they represent a unique period in U.S. economic history.
