Collectible coins can include various types such as numismatic coins, which are valued for their rarity, historical significance, or condition. Tokens, often made of metal and issued by private entities, serve specific purposes like advertising or as a medium of exchange in local economies. In the United States, collectible tokens include historical pieces like the Northwest Company Tokens from the 1820s, which were used in trade and commerce, and might have been minted in places like Birmingham. These items hold both historical and monetary value among collectors.
