Slot machine slug - the machines took nickels and paid off (if lucky) in these tokens that could be exchanged for a package of mints at the candy counter of the business that had the machines. There are many different types.

Yes it does. Anyone know a year?

These were used for a long time - say 1915-1945. When gambling was made illegal (usually on a local option basis) these tokens were used to get around the laws.
