Picked up a little group of these, and noticed there is no topic about them.
Some folks here must collect them! I noticed Glen has offered a few over the years, and they always sell.
These tokens were privately issued and served as small change (since there were no low-value official coins at the time) and also to advertise the businesses that issued them.
Really pleased to get the Australian one at the lower right due to the condition. They usually come pretty banged up.
