So-Called Dollars are a type of collectible coin that primarily refers to medallions and tokens that were produced to commemorate events or people, often issued by private entities rather than the U.S. Mint. The term originated from the 19th-century and gained prominence around the turn of the 20th century, including the year 1909. These items typically exhibit a dollar size and are often categorized by their design, historical significance, and rarity. In the U.S., the collection of So-Called Dollars has attracted interest from numismatists, particularly those who focus on commemorative pieces related to American history and culture.
