YourGeorgiaPeach Valued Member United States 287 Posts	Posted 04/04/2019 3:39 pm Had this passed down from my grandfather a while back and frankly I have very little knowledge on it, but it fascinates me nonetheless. Apparently it was a $1 trade token redeemable at Matanuska Valley businesses for only two years (1963-65). With it's expiration over 50 years ago, it technically has no legal tender value anymore, but I'd still like to know more about it as I own very few tokens and souvenir pieces.
