Finding a collector may be difficult. It's modern, and I doubt they are that rare. I would assume this would not be much different than keeping Chuck E Cheese tokens.

It looks like a lot of things, but as ayejay1974 already stated, it's a modern token with limited collectability. Last year I purchased a group of over 4,000 privately minted, mostly promo tokens. I paid 10 cents a piece and would be so very happy to sell them for 25 cents each, or less. I know the metal content of many of the brass tokens exceeds 25 cents each, but I can't seem to give them away. They're all from the late 80s to current. Tough market, but give it 50 years- I'll do well!

The Chuck E Cheese tokens are cool!
They are way better than anything you can purchase with them, I kept the tokens.

They are brass, have a rat on them, and they are dated, makes them a better value than the pennies of the sames year and probably worth more in melt value to.

I like the German Duty Free Trade Token too, reminds me of a good time in Frankfurt and Stuttgart a few years back.

The value of it was 2 Duty free Euros until it expired.
I would buy one for a quarter any day.

Keep it in nice condition in couple decades it could be worth something more.
