Wondering if maybe these companies were able to order these from the big regional security / bank note companies of the day for use as scrip(?) for their employees. I do believe that these were issued to employees of the mines, correct? A very controlled system of paying ones employees then restricting where and what they could use the very money they paid you back for services/sundries, etc. Is that right?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
