So-Called Dollars are a type of commemorative coinage that originated in the United States and are typically associated with specific events or exhibitions, such as the 1939 New York World's Fair. The term "So-Called Dollar" was popularized by numismatist Harold P. Newlin, who published a catalog on this genre. The 1942 So-Called Dollars encompass a variety of tokens and medals issued to commemorate the events of World War II, with various designs and inscriptions that reflect the historical context of that time. These items are collectible among numismatists for their artistic value and historical significance.
