Coins are typically government-issued currency that holds a designated value, while tokens are often privately minted items that can represent a value but are not legal tender. In the context of the United States, collectible coins can include various denominations and historical pieces. Merchant tokens, particularly those from 1863, are noteworthy as they were used by businesses for transactions or promotions, often featuring unique designs linked to the merchant. Rulau is a reference to a cataloging system for identifying and categorizing these merchant tokens, allowing collectors to track their rarity and historical significance. Other Varied coins can encompass a range of collectible items beyond traditional currency, including commemoratives and novelty pieces.
