So-Called Dollars are a specific category of collectible coins that are typically medallions or tokens issued to commemorate events or places, rather than legal tender. They often depict historical figures or significant occurrences related to the United States and are named after the 19th-century minting practice of creating pieces that resembled the dollar in size but were not meant for circulation. The Hibler and Kappen reference pertains to the comprehensive catalog of So-Called Dollars, in which various issues, including those from around 1950, are documented and classified for collectors. These items are popular among numismatists for their artistic value and historical significance.
