Many thanks!. Report this Post to the Staff

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12286 Posts	Posted 09/02/2013 11:13 pm Pierre, SD (South Dakota's capital) issued four round wooden nickels in 1955 for the 75th anniversary of its founding. Two of the pieces had a 5-cent denomination and two had a denomination of 7-1/2 cents. The 5-cent pieces were printed in either Black or Red; the 7-1/2 cent pieces were printed in either Green or Blue. In terms of value, none of the four woods is particularly valuable â€" maybe a few dollars each. The 7-1/2 cent pieces might carry a small premium due to their more atypical denomination.

In the 50's You got more of them for your money and and a loot of people would hang on to them since the phrase was still popular and in use by very age not just older people.
