<p>[QUOTE="cladking, post: 47444, member: 68"]Unfortunately most of what I know about them is from making a collection of them. I've got about 200 different from various series and issuers. I didn't save resource materials for these because I considered them too inconsequential for the effort. One, I believe, was made by a large CA coin shop whose name escapes me right now and another by the ? hat mint. They issued quite a few amusement tokens and the like and, I believe, are still in business. Some were likely made by members of the the elongated cent collectors club so perhaps someone there could help you with more details.</p><p><br /></p><p>These were simply punched with a stamp in many cases and did not require special equipment.
