OPA stands for Office of Price Administration
Rationing was first started in 1942. Items that were rationed include canned goods, meats, sugar, coffee, tires, gas and more.
The Office of Price Administration used OPA stamps, coins and chits for rationing.
OPA coins (commonly called OPAs) were used for change for food.
OPAs were used by retailers to give change back for food bought with ration stamps.
Blue tokens were used for processed foods; red tokens for meats and fats.
OPAs were first issued in 1944
Stopped being issued in 1945
Nobody has found a true reason for the letters on the OPA's. Theories include, they are random; demographics; and prevention of counterfitting.

My PokerStars Security Token died today. How about using Google Authenticator instead for logging securely into online poker accounts?

Google Authenticator is a Google Play app that generates 2-step verification codes on your phone, and can be used when logging into online accounts, such as Gmail, Dropbox or Outlook.
So +PokerStars, how about saving us 3,000 FPPs for ordering a new token and enabling a convenient, free-to-use Android app that gets the job done? I bet it will force more players to secure their accounts, as well.

This old token, also known as a bar chip is from a now closed bar which was located in Plymouth,PA.
Such chips were given when one patron wanted to buy another one a drink. Different shapes, and/or colors determined what type of drink was to be given.
Many bars had such tokens, but now with contemporary registers, paper slips are printed, usually with the value and date printed on it. This is designed to keep customers from trying to get a higher priced drink with a lower valued chip. And they are dated so that they must be used on the date issued.
These colorful and nostalgic collectibles have a good following of collectors.

An announcement made by Singapore-based Terra and the Luna Foundation Guard (LFG) which is a nonprofit organization designed to support the Terra network to build and promote a decentralized economy. It claimed of raising $1 billion in a private token sale of LUNA led by Three Arrows Capital headed by Ethereum critic Su Zhu and Jump Crypto.
The trading group that led the raise was also responsible for Solana cross-chain bridge Wormhole whole after a $320 million hack. The foundation did not say anything about the specifics of the raise or whether the funds were raised directly in Bitcoin. As per LFG, the funds will be used to create a UST Forex Reserve denominated in Bitcoin for the biggest stablecoin on the Terra chain, TerraUST, Depending on when the raising took place, the value would be under $1 billion due to the market downturn. As a result of this $1 billion, which will be locked up for a vesting period of four years, it will be used as a release valve for UST redemption to maintain the USD peg. To maintain its peg UST which is a stablecoin uses Terra's LUNA.

Old tokens from the "T" in Boston, Massachusetts. The token on the top is newer and features a picture of a train on the other side. The token system has been replaced by the electronic "Charlie card" system these days.
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.
This token in poor condition. The legend reads "PURE COPPER PREFERABLE TO T..." I am not sure what the last word beginning with "T" is. Trade perhaps.
These are one of my most popular items at this time of year. New photos to re-launch the tokens for the 2012 festive season!
Patriotic Civil War Token
The Federal Union It Must Be Preserved
Our Union
This token, bearing a likeness of the famous statue of Andrew Jackson, included his most famous quote concerning his stand against secession. "Our Federal Union! It Must Be Preserved!" was President Andrew Jackson's volunteer toast delivered at the annual Democratic Jefferson Day dinner on 13 April 1830 in response to the South Carolina senator Robert Hayne's pronullification speech. Hayne's speech and the toasts that followed were intended to display a united front for states' rights within the party. Jackson became aware of the plan before the dinner, and he decided to pronounce finally his position on nullification and win back the initiative. To the attendees' shock, Jackson, often identified with states' rights, declared his opposition to nullification and proclaimed his belief in a supreme, perpetual Union.
