Lucky Cuss Pillar of the Community United States 4883 Posts	Posted 05/04/2016 12:07 am Doesn't specify a redeemable amount, so possibly just sold as a souvenir? Regardless, this would seem to be a pretty common item. Still a fun find from the "junk" bin. Here's a great article on the history of Wall Drug.

If you stick with the generally accepted definition of token, I don't think that this would qualify as a token. As you've mentioned, it doesn't state a particular value and doesn't appear that it served a purpose of exchange. Edited by ErrorCoins222 05/04/2016 05:35 am Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 05/04/2016 08:22 am I would call it a medal. I just had a Wall Drug medal I sold on ebay - it had the dinosaur on the reverse. [/url] Edited by chequer 05/04/2016 08:24 am Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 05/05/2016 04:17 am The reason I said it's a token is because it is listed on a token site. I think it is a medal since it has no known face value on it. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 05/05/2016 06:10 am If it is anything it is a souvenir medal from the world famous Wall drug. There are a number of different designs on one side, Ted Hustead was the founder of the free ice water after he bought Wall drugs to promote the business. There are a number of the tokens,with assorted South Dakota attractions and wall drugs advertising on the other they also are in brass and a white metal alloy. They also have or had penny elongated arcade machines too. Report this Post to the Staff
