[QUOTE="bhp3rd, post: 524689, member: 16510"][b]I don't see why they would?[/b] I don't see why they would? The in-between coins, (really anything under 25 cents) is imaginary money only - they don't buy anything - they are a bother and why would it pay any merchant to do it simply for change? Now for advertising that's a completely different story - it might pay for that especially if nice and had a classic look to them. Although with more thought I'd be reluctant to accept a token form Wall-world as it would surely be designed to push the little man under some more. Plus they are expensive to have made even in quantity with the set up fees and such - you cannot make them for much under 50 cents to begin with unless you ordered a million. Boys and Girls alike those were just such different times where media outlets were few and far between so it really paid then. Now if you could some how make them more valuable as they are such as a lottery or secret prize offered for obtaining the "right" one you might generate some interest. There may actually be an idea in here someplace but if successful I probably would be the one not to buy into it - but I'm gonna give this some thought for awhile. Everything's collectible even man-hole covers so there may be an idea in there.
