My Mom used to tell about saving these up until they had enough for all four kids and they would ride the bus into East Point and could use those to go see a movie.

How about a few historical Masonic Pennies?

And here is the MONSTER I mentioned earlier.
This slab of copper actually encases two Lincoln Wheat Ear Cents. It measures 63mm in diameter and is 10mm thick. It weighs in at over 10 ounces.
It looks to be all hand inscribed. I haven't done any research yet on where it originated, but it is massive, unique, and probably qualifies as a weapon . . . .

Looks like a Scandinavian coin 1400s or so. Not ancient but not modern. I'll check on another forum.
Interesting… I’ve had it about 5-6 years just haven’t found anything in my limited search that matched or came close.
Peru; 1556-1598 Spanish Colonial Philip II One of four varients from 1577-1589. Obverse; mint mark and assayers initial at side; PHILIPPVS D.G. HISPANIARVM. From Coinect website. Your mileage may vary.
Wow… that’s amazing the info you shot back in 10 mins on something I didn’t really have a clue about! Thanks!
So we need to get together on these Masonic coins. Buy, sell, trade, something.

My pleasure. Enjoyed looking it up.
In the mid 1950's my Grandmother used Capitola flour for all her baking and she always bought the 10 pound bag. As soon as she opened a new bag I would be rooting around for the small white envelope that had the token(s) inside. It was mine for the taking. They came in 2 varieties, one was for free admission to a movie and the other was good for .25 in trade. The 10 pound bags usually held 2 and it was luck of the draw as to which ones you got. On Saturday morning mom or dad would drop me off at the Grove Theater on Bankhead Highway in Atlanta, not far from West Fulton High School, and I would take my tokens, one to get in and one for snacks. The .25 in trade would buy a box of popcorn, a coke, a Baby Ruth bar and a hotdog and I was set for hours of movie watching fun.
