Bar scrip from Cadott, Wisconsin — a small town notable mainly for sitting almost exactly halfway between the equator and the North Pole, a geographic coincidence that gave Rick's its name and apparently its marketing identity. This piece of privately issued trade currency was redeemable for one beer, functioning as a promotional or prepaid token rather than general-purpose exchange. Small tavern scrip of this kind was common across rural Wisconsin and Minnesota through the latter twentieth century, typically printed locally in short runs and rarely preserved once spent.
