| Additional information |
Jamul Indian Village, a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County, is one of the smallest tribal nations in the United States — at times holding fewer than a dozen enrolled members. Tribal nations gained authority to issue their own coinage and currency instruments through a combination of sovereign immunity doctrine and the absence of federal prohibition specifically targeting tribal monetary instruments, though such pieces occupy genuinely ambiguous legal territory.
The denomination and dimensions here don't align with U.S. Mint specifications for a standard dime, suggesting this was struck as a novelty or promotional piece rather than intended legal tender. Collector interest in tribal issues from small California bands remains thin but slowly growing.
