1 Dime Mohican tribes

The Jamul Indian Village is a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County, California — not affiliated with the Mohican people, whose homelands lie in the Northeast. The disconnect between issuer and tribal name on this piece is characteristic of the broader novelty tribal currency market, where licensed issuers produce coins invoking unrelated Native nations for collector appeal rather than cultural or governmental continuity.

These issues carry no exchange value within any tribal economy and circulate exclusively in the numismatic novelty trade.
