Play penny in the coin roll hunt today

[Coinstar magnet]

I went to pick up a box of nickels today but they were short so they offered me a variety...the teller seemed eager to rid herself of pennies so I happily obliged. Didn't get much but it was nice to mix it up alittle. I ended up with a stack of wheats...no key dates, one King George VI which I enjoy, about 4 other Canadians, a gross moldy penny? and the icing on the cake, one play penny!

Cool. The Imperial Toy Corporation (aka Imperial Toys) was founded in 1969 in Los Angeles by the holocaust-survivor Fred Kort. They supplied sets of play money with plastic coins and paper bills as well as toy cash registers (mainly imported from Hong Kong and the Far East) together with other novelties to discount chains throughout 1970s-1990s until going bust in 2020.

Fascinating, you are a wealth of information. Thank you Red-Coat!

I like finding plastic coins. According to Amazon they're worth more than real ones!

Excellent, I had to chuckle to myself when one showed up in a roll of pennies...
