These, along with a variety of other play money, were made by Tracies Industries of Holyoke, MA. Later, as Tracies increased the price to 89¢ and added other items to the package, Kresge&#039;s (now K-mart) began selling Japanese-made imitations of the coins, and those in turn were followed by copies made in Hong Kong and Taiwan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
