They were called play money in my days.

 

Are they even worth putting back it is in pretty good shape I can't remember them but I'm 46 years old so I don't know if they were around then or not. They done a good job on it for it to be play money

 

They made board games that used play money. They also made sets with both paper and coins, used to teach kids how to count money.

 

LIBERTY

 

I didn't know they done Good job on making the money I will give them that I thought it was a cool.

 

I like the logo "In toys we trust." Cool, I would keep it for show-n-tell.

 

I would say a set of Play money like this would be a pretty penny there really build good for play money I wonder what a hole set would cost. I guess a man could buy one if they wanted one it would help kids alot about money.

 

Yeah I'm going to keep it I like it for real it's pretty good piece not to bad off shape wonder why it says copy on both sides were all of them say that on both sides the word copy.

 

I wonder if you could get a MS graded?

 

I have no idea but I hope that is a joke but mine would clean up to a Ms 65 what do you think if it was cleaned up.

 

Toy money

 

Play money most likely made after 1970 because it has the word copy on it. I don't know why they would need to put copy on a plastic coin but, it was in the 70's that it became mandatory to put the word copy on fake coins. It also has Not Legal Tender on the obverse. Even if those notations weren't on the token I don't think anyone would accept them as real.

 

From a newer game set as the word "COPY" is really unnecessary because no one in their right mind would think they are real. Some manufacturer is just CYAing themselves.

 

There absolutely are people (plural) on this planet who would accept them, even with those words on them!

 

Thanks for that picture that is pretty cool I would love to have one i bet they are pretty high for real liked to got one when I was kid and keep them that would been pretty cool. Hek I like anything that has to do with coins I collect all sorts of coins.

 

I agree some people probably would think this is real money. I was just curious if anyone ever seen any thing like it specially half doallars.

 

Not unnecessary, it just happens to be the law and the law has no exceptions for "no one in their right mind would think they are real". And some of the things the Secret Service have confiscated as being in violation of the counterfeiting laws would surprise you. Gingersnaps with the mold of a Washington quarter on it. A bath towel with the image of a dollar bill on it etc. Sure it seems silly, but better to conform to the law than explain yourself to an anal retentive law enforcement official. (Although these play money coins actually DON'T conform to the law.)
