So-Called Dollars are a category of commemorative medallions and tokens that resemble U.S. dollar coins but are not legal tender. They typically celebrate specific events, individuals, or achievements and often feature intricate designs. The term "So-Called Dollar" was popularized by the 1930 book by Harold S. Adams, which cataloged these items. Examples from the 1930s may include various issues related to fairs, expositions, or historical milestones in American history, making them popular among collectors for their artistic value and historical significance.
