Half Dollar Creek tribes

Jamul Indian Village, a federally recognized Kumeyaay band in San Diego County, gained the authority to issue tribal currency following the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988 and subsequent recognition processes that affirmed tribal sovereignty in economic matters. "Creek tribes" almost certainly refers to the broader Native American issuer branding used across several affiliated tribal gaming operations rather than any connection to the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma.

These pieces circulate as casino tokens rather than government-issued legal tender, redeemable within tribal gaming facilities.
