<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 2414633, member: 32619&quot;]Not sure what your budget can handle...but there are Sutler tokens and those are the earliest form of U.S. military token I&#039;m aware of. Sutlers were people who sold goods to soldiers during the Civil War that the Army didn&#039;t provide. Sutlers would also extend credit to the soldiers to be repaid when their next &quot;paycheck&quot; came. In fact the Sutler would be sitting next to the quartermaster so the cash would go from the government to the soldier then Sutler. They got a bad reputation during the war (and earned some of it) and were abolished by 1898 I believe. Their tokens generally run in the $300+ range.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
