<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 137414, member: 5233&quot;]Does anyone know anything about these military tokens.&nbsp; My father gave me a couple of these that he had brought home from his time in Vietnam.&nbsp; He told me that they were 5 cent tokens from FOB-1&#039;s mess.&nbsp; Apparently that was a special forces compound on the DMZ during the Vietnam War and he served there.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>He told me that a he had recieved a roll of them as a gift from a Colonel he knew following a rescue mission he was on.&nbsp; Apparently, the Colonel offered him the roll of tokens for the slot machine and all the beer he could drink or a Silver Star for his role in the rescue (he took the beer and tokens :thumb: ).</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I thought it was a neat story.&nbsp; He said that he figured that not many of the tokens were made.&nbsp; I doubt they have any actual value but they are special to me.&nbsp; Does anyone know anything about these tokens themselves (or has anyone even see one before)?</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/fob1obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/fob1rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
