After driving all day in the pouring rain (and driving snow) from Fort Madison, Iowa to Fremont, Nebraska to get out of the crap weather, I was rewarded with a grubby Union Pacific GE in DPU mode in drop-under sunset light. Well worth the time, eh?
CANDIANO
SUPER
FOOD STAMP CREDIT
1¢
IN ELIGIBLE FOODS
Date: Circa 1970s
Source Type: Token
Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Plasco Company
Postmark: Not Applicable
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: Albeno and Margaret E. Candiano was the owner of Candiano Super Market located at 701 West Chicago Avenue in East Chicago, Lake County, Indiana.
In March 1968, Candiano Super Market was "disqualified from participation in the Food Stamp Program for 60 days" in an action taken by the United States Department of Agriculture. The disqualification was based on Candiano's violation of "program regulations by accepting food coupons in exchange for ineligible items." Regulations excluded the purchase of non-food items and certain imported goods with food stamps.
Beginning in the 1930s, the federal government issued coupons to families and individuals whose income level was below a certain threshold. The purpose of the coupons was to assist in the purchase of food. Today, SNAP cards are issued by the federal government for the same purpose.
During the 1970s, the lowest denomination of federally issued "food stamps" was one dollar and federal law prohibited the exchange of food stamps for money. Hence, to solve the issue of providing change to customers, companies issued credit tokens in lieu of money. These tokens could then be used to purchase "eligible food" items.
The federal law changed in January 1979 and retailers were allowed to provide change to customers as long as the coins amounted to less than one dollar. This new law essentially eliminated the use of food stamp credit tokens in the United States.

This Raven award token is in the form of ornamentation for a banner pole.
It is chased and repoussed nickle silver, inspired by common 12-14th century themes seen as ornamentation on many items. Two ravens and the Tir Righ star adorn the token.
Shown here riveted on to the banner pole.
"Pulled from a life some leaves in evergreen
Or dressed like fragrant crinoline draped
Over shadows by di Chirico, stolen
From a station where trains never run
And set up in a tableau in the parsonage at Haworth
The three sisters with Chekovian overtones
Stood round the table where their mirrored forms
Await the blast of the last judgement’s call to make them
Take that final walk across the heather mantled moor.
Down vain corridors I searched for some leaf token
Of a life unlived, a faded mignonette or four leaved clover
Down a pathway closed forever by the twists of fate:
The shadows of you gone still took the night
And I was left alone to face the painful light."

After all the jewelry the Purple Mage was obliged to wear as status markers, this little token of devotion is that much more precious to Nightowl.
From Melbourne Australia a halfpenny token to be used to purchase merchandise from the General Marine Store.
"For the first five years after the bombing, a simple chain link fence surrounded the Murrah Building site, and from the earliest hours of the rescue and recovery operations, visitors posted messages and personal items on the fence. It became such a tradition to “visit the fence” in Oklahoma City that sections of the original fence were incorporated in the permanent Memorial, and guests still leave their convention nametags or hastily scrawled notes of hope there."

Homeward
by Rand
Rest at ease my love
For I sail the breeze home
To thee.
Fetch the preacher and set
Fire on dry wood, have blown
To me.
Best please God above
For I sail the breeze home
To thee.
Fetch the tailor and set
Lace on white goods have sewn
To thee.
Rest at ease my love
For I shall seize home.
Not to be buried at
sea...
Not to be buried at
sea...
Not to be buried at
sea...
I sail home to thee.
