✅ SOLVED Aluminum star token?

[ihatedirtbikes]

Found this on my family’s property today. Good mix of items there. I can’t find anything on this token(?) at all. The letters are “PELETHIA.COOPER FED VA”. It is made of aluminum and had an American flag in the center of the star. Any help would be great, thanks!

There are machines at carnivals and county fairs (etc..) that punch these out - personalized style.
It's a souvenir or keepsake.

The whole Fed Va thing was weird to me. I thought maybe it was someone running for some type of office or something maybe.

Here's one I found a few years ago here in Ontario.

It sure sounded great on the AT Pro I was using at the time.

If you clear up that first name, you may be able to return it to Cooper.
No doubt there is some personal history there.
