They don't have the same historical value because they don't have as much
an
impact in peoples lives. When I collect German Empire coins, I know that
they have been a big part of people's lives in that era of history. A
NCLT
'coin' is just as commemorative as a piece of plastic crap that is made in
China and sold at the local $2 shop as a toy. As for iconic names, well
they are competing with a whole range of memorabilia which aren't just
bits
of metal with a picture and bit of writing on them.
My opinion anyway, although I collect some NCLT in the form of Westfalen
(German Province) Notgeld 1921-1923, they really sum up what went on in
that
period of history, especially the 1 billion mark coin.
