[QUOTE="ZoidMeister, post: 8544996, member: 114169"]I remember back in the day (late 1960's / early 1970's) municipal laws required items that could be swapped for products or services to bear some "cash value".

I'm guessing that makes the token easier to revalue without restriking, or it may be some legacy legislative requirement. That's also why you see the Deposit Value of 5 or 10 cents printed on soda cans. If they're sold in Iowa, Oregon, Minnesota or other states with deposit laws, they must bear the valuation. I need to look into that a bit more. Z[/QUOTE]
