Collectible coins encompass various types, including currency issued by governments, commemorative pieces, and medallic items. Tokens, often created for specific purposes such as commerce or events, differ from traditional coins as they usually lack government backing. In the United States, collectible coins include a wide range of denominations, historical pieces, and commemoratives celebrating significant events or figures. Notably, North West Company Tokens were issued in the late 18th and early 19th centuries as a form of currency in the fur trade regions of North America, serving as a means of exchange within the company's trading posts and communities.
