Collectible coins encompass various forms of currency that are sought after by numismatists for their historical, artistic, or monetary value. Tokens are typically non-official currency items issued for specific purposes, such as commerce or as souvenirs. The United States has a rich history of coinage, including both federal and local issues. Hawaii plantation tokens, specifically from the 1860s, were used on sugar plantations as a medium of exchange for laborers, reflecting the unique economic and social conditions of that period in Hawaiian history.
