"Discriminating taste"
I remember my dad telling me as a kid "Don't take any wooden nickels!" and never had any idea what the saying actually meant.
A few pieces of US history ... albeit somewhat controversial. Sambo's was a chain of pancake house restaurants that started up in June 1957. While the name originated as a combination of both the original owners' names, the chain became linked with the children's story "Little Black Sambo" and was considered highly defamatory by many.
I however, only remember eating great pancakes there on occasion as a small child when we would venture to the U.S. for vacations. How I loved the "tiger butter"! Apparently they were known for coffee too, but I guess I was a little too young to indulge in that. These wooden nickels were given out and were good for a 10 cent cup of coffee at any of their locations.
