I found this site the last time I found one like that:
http://www.tokensdirectstore.com/Instock.aspx?item=TRB984-424-446&Category=878572e5-8058-4337-94a9-2614b6e47563

It doesn't give a lot of info on them, but you can still buy them today...
Good luck, & Happy hunting~

thanks leon -- 15 cents per in bulk lots of 1,000 --- so 15 cents is the "cash value" of the "no cash value" freedom token --- Ivan

You are Welcome! Glad we could help. Maybe this will help a little more:

The Eagle design is minted on one side of this token, with 'No Cash Value' on the reverse.

The token is suitable for amusement, gaming, vending and promotional activities, where you wish to make clear to the user that they have no automatic right to exchange the token for cash.
