Exonumia refers to coin-like objects, such as tokens and medals. It branches out to include counterstamped coins, all similar non-coin items, such as ingots (bars), canceled dies, impressions struck from canceled dies, elongated coins, and basically any non-paper-like collectibles you want to link to coin collecting. For this C4OA forum, we want to limit the discussion to Carson City Mint- and northern Nevada history-related items.
