your token is a slot-machine related item. In order to make these machines legal they are often introduced as vending machines, along side of each machine is a container that delivers packages of mints--a package for each nickel. The candy resembles regular five cent packages, but it is of a cheap grade. The man who owns the machine can let the mints go--his profits are big enough. This should convince some of the suckers that they are in wrong, but it doesn't.The above information was found on Forrest's token page.I found a similar token a few years ago and thought at first it came from an old grocery store.73 from the Silver Queen.
