So-Called Dollars are a type of collectible medal or token that commemorates events or individuals, resembling a dollar coin in size and design, but are not official currency. Originating in the United States, the most notable series emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a particularly prominent release in 1929. These tokens often feature unique designs and inscriptions that reflect cultural, historical, or political significance, appealing to numismatists and collectors alike. The term "So-Called" derives from the 1935 book by Harold E. Hibler and Charles V. Kappen, which cataloged these items.
