Found this cool looking Play Nickel. Feel likes plastic but when dropped sounds like metaL. Has English and some Spanish on it, also the date 1974. Any idea what kind of play set this might have come from?

Some people think they can mint their own money, check out this thread...

Just play money for kids, interesting that is has a date, and not sure about content, maybe resin or tin/pewter all light and some resins can sound like metal or stone.

I thought this looked a bit familiar - turns out I own a very similar token!

This one is older than yours - and appears to have a fake Cuban shield on it. Very strange

Uncle Sam was a popular brand of play money. I have a cent, nic & dime. These were heavily used in classrooms in the '60s.
