So-Called Dollars refer to a series of medals and tokens that commemorate significant events or individuals, often produced in connection with United States history. The term is typically used for pieces that are not official U.S. currency but were created during the 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly around the time of major expositions and celebrations. Hibler and Kappen are notable authors who chronicled these coins in their reference work, documenting various types, including those minted in 1826. Many of these pieces were produced in limited quantities, contributing to their appeal among collectors and their classification as collectible coins.
