STORE COINS

[Templar]

 
   DO ANY OF YOU KNIGHTS COLLECT STORE COINS OR TOKENS?--THESE WERE BIG IN THE U.S. FROM THE 1850S TO THE PRESENT TIMES---THEY MIGHT BE POLITICAL--DISCOUNT COINS--ADVERTISEMENT TYPES---THIS IS WHERE THE WOODEN NICKELS CAME FROM----THE FIRST WERE MADE FROM COPPER AND OTHER METALS--NOW YOU CAN FIND THEM IN ALL MATERIALS--
   
               JUST CURIOUS--YOUR SERVANT--THE TEMPLAR

G'Day Joe I have one Canadian token you might like to see,
hope you don't mind if I post it in your thread.

  VERY NICE TOKEN--THIS IS WHAT I HAD IN MIND--MANY STORES USED TO GIVE OUT COINS OR TOKENS TO ADVERTISE THEIR WARES--SOME OF THESE TOKENS CAN BE VERY ESPENSIVE DEPENDING ON THEIR RARITY--I HAVE ABOUT 30+ SUCH TOKENS FROM THE 1800'S--MANY ARE PATRIOTIC TOKENS PUT OUT DURING THE CIVIL WAR!

          THANKS FOR SHARING--THE TEMPLAR!

Nice tokens guys. Very nice!

Fourty years ago Shell gave some copperalloy tokens you could push into a card
I still have them sowhere I think ( allthough my flaggs of the world coming out of a gumball machine
40 years ago seem to be purloined )

                  THE TEMPLAR!

Very strange.
Longnine, they haven't taken you away and probed you, have they?
