I've got a lot of aluminum coins; maybe some aluminum tokens, but definitely nothing even close to a match.

I will probably find that I have a few more of these as they are posted. My non-US coin collection is somewhat neglected in that I seldom add something to it, let alone give it a good viewing. The Indonesian is one that stood out from memory and I verified from my spreadsheet. If that were the challenge coin I would not have hesitated to take a photo.

Was a bit excited to see this one! It's only square, but it is an Aluminum palmolive token... but it's in french. I had never seen a french one before so I picked it up immediately. (If anyone knows how common/rare these are could you please let me know via pm) This is also a "one free when you buy 3"

Very nice, AgCoinAu!  I hadn't seen one in French before. Quote: This is also a "one free when you buy 3" I guess Palmolive wasn't as generous in Canada.  I failed to think of this when I was determining the points available: Both Palmolive and Palmolive-Peet tokens count for 2 points. Same company, essentially... So, your example is 4 points, AgCoinAu, and the current leader.

My Potts Bros. dairy token from Collingwood Ontario. No soap or Palmolive in my collection, so I have to settle for Octagonal Aluminum. We should participate for the fun of it, even if cannot win.

Found a Palmolive coin:  That's a 2 pointer, right?
