Sweet finds... The play coin was manufactured in the late 1940's and was produced by the Grimland brothers of Jacksonville, Florida. The company moved to Waco, Texas in 1948 or 1949 and soon went bankrupt. They were taken over by Waco-Tex, which became Grove-Tex, the makers of UNCLE SAM PLAY MONEY... There are 2,000 to 5,000 of the play coin you found estimated to exist...
