<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 143131, member: 4626&quot;]Basically, for a while some people were concerned that fractional tax rates would casue people to overpay when the fractions of a cent were rounded up, so most states produced tax tokens that could be used to pay the fractions of a cent left over.&nbsp; These were made in various materials, have seen brass, aluminum, plastic, and even cardboard.&nbsp; After a while people decided that the amount rounded off, as long as it was done at the end, wouldn&#039;t add up to a significant amount to worry about&nbsp; (and half the time the rounding would be in their favor anyway) so they just quit producing the tokens.&nbsp; I have quite a few myself from Washington and Oklahoma that my grandmother saved.&nbsp; Most were produced from the 1940&#039;s until the early 1960&#039;s.</p><p><br /></p><p>They aren&#039;t worth a whole lot because they were produced in huge numbers and there isn&#039;t much collector&#039;s interest in them, at least not right now.&nbsp; If you want to collect these you can do so very cheaply.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
