Collectible coins can be categorized into various types, including official currency, like the 25-cent quarter issued by the United States, and non-monetary items such as tokens. The United States quarter, known for its distinctive designs representing states or national parks, is a popular choice among collectors. Hard Times Tokens, which were produced in the 1830s and 1840s as substitutes for currency during economic hardship, often carry historical significance and unique artwork. The Rulau catalog references numerous tokens and numismatic items, serving as an essential resource for collectors and enthusiasts in identifying and valuing these pieces.
