[QUOTE="TheNickelGuy, post: 8238093, member: 20201"][SIZE=6][B]One Henny Penny - Chicken Feed[/B] [B]Play Money Coin[/B][/SIZE] [ATTACH=full]1449659[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1449660[/ATTACH] One of the least expensive small tokens I have bought but they are a bit scarce. Not as scarce as hens teeth but not exactly common. I can't seem to nail down where this is from. Maybe from a board game in the 1930's ? Add to this if you know. "Henny Penny" or "Chicken Little" is a children's fable dating back to 1823. There are numerous versions but a little chicken feels an acorn or leaf dropping on him and thinks "The sky is falling". Convincing others foul characters, a duck, turkey, goose and rooster, they set off to tell the King. They come to a fox who tricks them along the way, knowing a shortcut to the King, and invites them to his lair and then eats them all. The little chick gets away. How versions of the story are told and end differ, but the moral to Henny Penny is interpreted as a warning [B] To not to believe everything one is told.
