Collectible coins and medals encompass a variety of numismatic items, often issued by national mints like the United States Mint. Coins typically represent legal tender and come in various denominations, while medals are often produced to commemorate specific events, figures, or achievements and do not have currency value. The U.S. Mint produces a range of medals, including commemorative pieces and those honoring historical milestones. The Denver Mint, one of the primary U.S. Mint facilities, plays a significant role in the production of these items. In 2018, various collectible medals were released, celebrating different aspects of American history, art, and culture.
