I've had this in my collection for a while, but have never known what it is. On one side is a picture of a good cold frothy beer. (Albeit a bit stale by now probably. ) And, on the other side it says "CAFE RIO FFM." It's diameter is 21mm.

I was just wondering if anyone had seen anything like this before, or knew how old it was or any other details. Thanks in advance.

I have a couple similar tokens in my collection, obviously with a different phrase/name on it, and find that they are just credits to a certain store throughout the U.S. with no real value on the market.

Do you know how old yours are? I'm just looking for some sort of date range.

I have no idea on any of mine I know there are some "token" websites out there dedicated to identifying these things. I would check a Southwestern token site, but I will admit it's extremely difficult to find a match.

If that was a piece from Germany, I would say that "FFM" means Frankfurt. (The city's full name, Frankfurt am Main, is sometimes abbreviated "Ffm".) But of course it could be from pretty much anywhere ...
