token.1 cent lunch

[jon43]

i posted this on what is it because i wanted to see if anyone would know how old it was. the school was on west 7th street here in my home town and was tore down a few years ago. i was wondering to if it was for a cent off of the lunch or the lunch was for one cent. i know it would have to be pretty old for it to buy a lunch for one cent. anyone from owensboro , KY? i have more tokens to post as i dig them out of my box's to frame thanks for any info

My kids used to complain that this would have been about 1? more than their school lunches were worth! I've asked the guy who is heading up the effort to compile a KY token catalog if he knows about this token - I sure don't. Most school lunch tokens date from post WWII and I suspect that the 1? value is meaningless as was suggested. The school sold lunch tokens for whatever the going rate happened to be and redeemed the tokens for a lunch. Even with a heavily subsidized school lunch program, 1? is pretty low! John in ID
