Milan, Ohio issued these brass souvenir dollars through the same wave of municipal and commemorative trade dollars that flooded the collectibles market in the 1970s — a period when hundreds of American towns capitalized on local pride and the broader bicentennial enthusiasm to produce non-monetary pieces aimed squarely at tourists and coin collectors. Edison was born in Milan in 1847, though his family relocated to Port Huron, Michigan when he was seven, a fact the town has never stopped compensating for.
