I was digging in my back yard and found this coin. I am unable to find it anywhere else in the few books i looked at and on the internet. I am hoping someone in this forum could possiblly help me find out what this is. The coin is about the size or a 50 cent piece and looks either copper or brass. On one side it says, FOR USE ONLY AT ORC 478152. On other side it says, RIGHT RESERVED TO DISCONTINUE USE. Thanks for taking your time to look at my posting.
