Hard Times Tokens were produced during the late 1830s to early 1840s to purchase land during the depression in the United States. Apparently, paper money had become plentiful and almost worthless so people went to the bank to exchange the paper money for coins. That created a run on the banks so the banks coordinated private production of these suspended specie payment "coins" to keep "coins" in circulation.
