Another expo I've never heard of but now I have a token from it.

 

Those symbols above and on the side of the skyline are the Norse Runes for protection from enemies.

 

That was my first thought too.

 

Not new but just re found. Expo coin 1975 was last time on leave in Okinawa Japan.Unc Original packages fell apart. I just put it in slip not silver but MS 64+

 

Ok, so I'm still on my Apollo kick ...

Here something about notes that could save someone from buying a fake.

 

Speaking of fake notes, the local large bread supplier to stores day old outlet is now checking $5's with the counterfeit pen. Due to the increase of home made bills they started getting. Guess some people don't know about the micro Printing ID numbers the printers put on every item printed.

 

It's good they don't, Circus. Thanks for the information.

It's not cheap. Once you learn about the back taxes owed on the property that you have to pay upon purchase. The house may cost $1 but it could be in debt for $80,000. You are also bound to a contract stating you must bring the building up to code. On a good day you might find one only missing all the plumbing pipes.

There as one instance where a girl was about to buy Eminem's mother's abandoned house, but once it went public on the news, someone went and torched the house beyond repair and it had to be demolished. People can do that to you too, because a lot of people there don't want improvement. They just wanna destroy.

 

Found a lot of interesting shaped tokens this visit.

 

I found these at a coin show, thought they were sort of interesting and the price was right. Anybody know much about these tax tokens, when and how they were used, and how many there might be?

 

"Anybody know much about these tax tokens, when and how they were used, and how many there might be?"

There are tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of some they aren't worth much .
Here is a link to a thread with some exonumia books. https://www.cointalk.com/threads/book-list-on-tokens-medals-and-exonumia.233203/#post-2281281

They were first appeared in 1933, the use pretty much stopped after WWII except for Missouri's plastic ones and Ohio's paper receipts which stopped early 60's.
They can go from .05 too .50 with a very few going for a dollar or two which most who have never seen them pay more for.
I have posted a bunch of them in this thread a couple of weeks back.

 

Thanks, I will do a little reading up on them. I saw them in a junk bucket at a coin show for 2 bucks and thought why not.

 

For your assortment from what I could see you did alright!

 

For Ben Franklin fans the Bonhomme Richard was the name John Paul Jones gave to the LeDuras after taking command. The name is a tribute to ole Ben whose French title to Poor's Richard's was: Les Maximes du Bonhomme Richard.
