Colonial Coinage

The U.S. Mint began minting its own coinage in 1794. Prior to that date, everyday business was conducted using tokens, coins from other countries, and medals issued by private individuals or private mints. Colonial coins are those that were struck in the colonies before the U.S. Mint began minting official coins for the newly liberated United States of America.
