Hello! I've found this token in a nickel roll. When I first spotted it I had thought I found my first foreign coin. When I looked at it I was surprised to see it was to trade in for 5 cents from Charlie's Billiards. After a little research and finding out it was a trade token (I knew nothing about this) I was surprised that something like this can still be in the banks. Especially since it seems it is not legal US tender? Does anyone have any information, history or age of this place and coin?

It is only tender in the place that is listed. People do place them in rolls if they are non magnetic along with foreign coins to get real money. It may be worth more than a nickel. I just get Mexican coinage in rolls on occasion. It was loaded by a person and turned into the banks for cash.
