Wooden Nickels

Here’s a few of mine. Feel free to post yours. They are neat collectibles and they commemorate places and/or events. I have shown both sides.

Even one for coin collectors.

 

And many of us can remember this one as it was very popular.

 

I sent you the last of mine so I have none to post. When I started my place I had a thousand made up for my guys to hand out to their customers. My guys thought it was a dud of an idea so I ended up passing them all out. I still think wooden nickels are cool though. They strike some childhood vibe in me or something.

 

I have them around here somewhere. Too many boxes and envelopes. The house looks like a warehouse. I hardly purchased any antiques for the shop last year and so far none this year. I just have too much. I still have 29 boxes of coins to go through. Why am I still buying them? I don’t know but I’m having fun doing it.

I have 2 small coins orders and a small box with rocks all due in next week. Still no complaints from my wife and that’s a good thing.

 

When she does complain….. I have plenty of storage for ya.

 

AHHHHH Memories.. I remember that ole' ICE CREAM truck in my neighborhood called the "Dairy Clipper" that would pass out "wooden Nickels" when you bought a LARGE $.20 cone and gave him a Quarter. I have been looking for those Dairy Clipper wooden nickels from the early 60's. PLEASE post a picture if you have one. (gone nostalgic here)

 

here's one of my favorites: an ERROR wooden nickel

 

wow I like that one a lot, never seen an Error wooden nickel misspelled. (seen a few off center but own none like that)

 

@Collecting Nut , yep I do remember the Sambo's restaurants

 

LOL You’re safes are full and you have one at the office. Shame on you. LOL I did get a good laugh.

 

Sounds like a nice one to have so find one for me. Lol

 

Same design on both sides?

 

I see you have a few different one from Sambo’s. Very nice.

 

No wooden nickels here, but I have 2 British Columbia White Spruce dollars which are huge, US Silver dollar shown for size comparison

 

Few more for your viewing pleasure:

 

I’m waiting until someone or some company produces a wooden nickel for each state, presidents, flowers, trees.... Oh my, now I sound like the US Mint and quarters.

 

Hmmm, interesting thought. I think there's about 25 states represented in my post; maybe when I've nothing to do I may look for some more
