This is one of the walls at the Gallery showing most of the Love Tokens. Definitely was a great reception. These were blank thin wooden hearts, and about 20 different artists did whatever they
wanted to paint or collage or both to them. Even I did four, but I must admit it's not my "bag", and I didn't have fun doing them. Mine are the pathetic ones on the far right!

Williams Brothers Direct Supply Stores Ltd were a London chain of grocery shops. They issued loyalty tokens in various denominations, similar to Coop tokens. Someone must have been annoyed at losing a five shillings token!
During Edward VII's reign a landfill site was in use at Henlow, Bedfordshire, bringing household rubbish from London by train. Today, part of RAF Henlow is built on the site; bottles etc. have turned up there whenever cable trenches etc. are dug there.
This 1837 Canadian halfpenny bank token also had a value of one sou marked on the other side of this coin.
This week's Creative Thursday assignment prompted me to write up a very simple baby sweater knitting recipe that I've had spread across scribbled notes for the last year and a half. My intention was to pull together a very, very simple baby sweater that could be knit with any yarn on hand, straight needles and little to no seaming (you seem a max of 8 stitches in this pattern!). Meaning, above all else, you could knit one very, very quickly (I scribbled all those notes in the midst of a baby boom across my friends and family).
Of course, so far, I've been the only test-knitter and it makes PERFECT sense to me, so if someone DOES knit this up, I would love to see pictures, get feedback, etc. Thank you!
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.

The practice of rationing was practiced in Canada from 1939-1947. Meat was rationed from May 27, 1943 to February 29, 1944 and from September 9, 1945 to March 26, 1947. The second period of meat rationing gave rise to the holed, blue "meat ration" token, a pressed-wood token given as change as one-eighth of a weekly meat ration coupon.
