Here's a good definition of "Colonial":
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonial
If you are attempting to determine what coins should be included in a
North American Colonial type set, then I would say any locally
circulating coin issued by a nation or entity that did not have the
North American land that it controlled directly incorporated into its
homeland should be included.=20
Canadian tokens, bungtowns, store cards etc.
