The survival of American tokens across multiple centuries provides material culture evidence that complements documentary sources, offering physical artifacts of commercial relationships that paper records may not adequately capture. American tokens document the intersection of commerce and material culture, serving as tangible evidence of business practices, economic conditions, and social relationships that conventional historical sources may overlook.
