So-Called Dollars are a category of numismatic collectibles, primarily medallions or tokens issued to commemorate events, individuals, or organizations, rather than serving as official currency. The term originated from the collection of pieces that were reminiscent of the $1 silver coin, often varying in size, metal composition, and design. The 1945 So-Called Dollars often commemorate significant historical events, such as the end of World War II, and are particularly sought after by collectors interested in numismatic history and American culture. These pieces are not authorized by the U.S. government, which distinguishes them from legal tender coins.
