Apparently it's a Apollo 11 moon landing commemorative coin from 1969... or so says the examples on the bay... just find it an interesting coin!   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

@fireball, interesting piece! Here is another thread that may be of interest to you: http://goccf.com/t/238333BTW, I recommended to the mods that your thread get moved over to the tokens and exonumia area of CCF. "If you climb a good tree, you get a push."

That is a cool token. A;though obviously a coin made for fun, it reminds me of this "serious(?)" one  ...yes, I had to have one for how odd it is. I still look at it and think...really? Oh...not about the reason it was made, but the design. Why a triangle? Why the transparent covering integrated into the REV? Why that specific blue (it is blue-ish in hand)? Now I need to find one like yours. |

I thought this was funny and found a listing with two!
So now I got moon money too. LOL
I wonder who made them and why besides the hoopla of the landing? I remember where I was at the time I watched them land, do you? I hope they are from 1969.

Interesting exonumia.
Pity it is not made of green cheese.

Pity it is not made of green cheese. Improper storage and after a few years, that might bring out the cheddar on it.  Mine showed up today. I will have a goofy contest with my extra down the road. |

Found some more interesting tokens...   Let me know if closeups are warranted. I tried to flip them over in their same places as the first picture so the reverse and obverse of the coins match... |
