I don't know if this is technically exonumia, but couldn't find a more appropriate forum. I just wanted to share this. I received it from my deceased grandmother's things.

We can narrow down the dates this was produced by the coins pictured. The Jefferson nickel shows that it couldn't have been produced before 1938. The lack of a Roosevelt dime might mean it was produced before 1946. The ending date is harder to pin down, as the older coins surely circulated a long time after the new coins came out, and the company may not have cared to change the design.

That's pretty cool wheatiefan! It would be a neat way to display some period, circulated coins.
