Coins are legal tender issued by a government and typically made of metal, featuring designs that represent national values, historical events, or notable figures. Tokens, on the other hand, are not considered currency and often serve specific purposes, such as representing a value for goods or services at a particular venue or event. The United States has produced various collectible coins, one notable example being the $10 gold coin featuring different designs across decades. The Alaskan Rural Rehabilitation Tokens, issued in 1935, served as a form of currency in remote Alaskan communities during economic hardship, allowing for transactions in limited-access areas.
