Rollhunter1994 Valued Member United States 195 Posts	Posted 04/10/2009 8:17 pm I found this coin in a small bag with some other coins that my grandpa gave me. There were two of them in the bag. Does anybody have any information on it? Is it just some worthless arcade token? Here are some Pictures. Thanks in Advance! Edited by Sap 04/12/2009 10:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff

pls Rest in Peace United States 1729 Posts	Posted 04/12/2009 9:48 pm I've seen four different sizes of the "No Cash Value" tokens, identical (except for size) and with various items on the back, mostly in bronze but occasionally aluminum or copper-nickel. I suspect they're all manufactured at the same place. Report this Post to the Staff

MrCanada Pillar of the Community Canada 650 Posts	Posted 06/21/2009 12:59 am These are generic arcade tokens, stock tokens. I was in the coin op business and these came in diameters larger or smaller than a quarter. I believe there is a regulation that when producing tokens they cannot be the same size as a quarter. Coin accepters are modified to accept these and sold as bulk tokens. I had a buddy that used to call them divorce tokens , on one side you have "freedom and the other side is no cash value" , kinda true. Report this Post to the Staff
Greckel Valued Member United States 61 Posts	Posted 07/04/2009 12:09 am My cousin purchased one of these for $.25 at an antique store on our last coin hunting trip. It was marked as being a WWII era token. Doing a little research on the web it reveals that they are just generic tokens mass produced. I too chuckled at the irony of the saying.
