If you’ve read our Home Page, you know that we view Santa Fe Trading Post™ as the 21st Century version of the trading posts of old, particularly the Hubbell Trading Post established by our hero, Juan Lorenzo Hubbell, in 1878. We even honor his famous Trade Dollars for full face value towards the purchase of merchandise here on our site! But while our offer was made tongue-in-cheek, it got us to thinking. Hubbell’s wasn’t the only trading post that issued trade dollars; in fact, most trading posts issued proprietary trade dollars, often in varying denominations, for customers to use in place of legal tender to buy goods and supplies at their establishments. If it was a good idea in the 19th Century, why not the 21st? Why not continue this popular trading post tradition today? Why not issue our own Santa Fe Trading Post™ Trade Dollars?

Well, here they are!

Fun to collect! -- Fun to give! -- Fun to receive!
Far more fun than gift certificates!

Trade dollars are immediate collectibles and increase exponentially in value over time. As collectibles, they even have their own category name – exonumia – a word coined (no pun intended) in 1960 by Russell Rulau, a noted authority on coins and coin-like objects. Numismatists collect coins and exonumists collect coin-like objects such as trade dollars. The word exonumia is a combination of the Greek exo (“out of”) and the Latin nummus (“coin”), and literally means “out[side]-of-[the category]coins”.
