<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1989744, member: 19463&quot;]The 1863 Indian is a Civil War Token not a Hard Times.&nbsp; HT tokens were in the 1830&#039;s when there was a shortage of large cents.&nbsp; CW tokens were to fill the need for small cents.&nbsp; While both are interesting, I prefer the HT because they are bigger and nastier in a political sense.&nbsp; Most CW tokens are positive message patriotics or advertising.&nbsp; Perhaps the US should stop making cents (which cost over a cent to make) and authorize private issues for circulation.&nbsp; Considering how candidates sling mud these days, I suspect the issues for 2016 would be &#039;colorful&#039;.&nbsp; I wonder if Republican restaurants would take Democrat pennies or vice-versa.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
