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.

Monopoly is derived from the Landlord's Game, a board game designed and patented by Lizzie G. Magie in 1904. She revised and renewed the patent on her game in 1924. The version Magie originated did not involve the concept of a monopoly.
In fact, the rules to the game had been invented in Washington DC in 1903 by a bold, progressive woman named Elizabeth Magie. But her place in the game's folk history was lost for decades and ceded to the man who had picked it up at his friend's house: Charles Darrow

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.

"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.

A TOKEN
Mine tokens or pit checks were issued to record the number of miners underground. Each miner would take the pit check with his allocated number from the board at the start of his shift and put it back when he returned to the surface. This board gave a quick and straightforward indication of which miners were underground.
This triangular pit check (or tally) is stamped with the number "57". There is also a hole for the miner to attach it to a piece of string. It belonged to a miner who worked at the Whitrigg and Polkemmet Collieries in West Lothian.
