| Comments |
Winn-Dixie issued small-denomination paper scrip tokens of this kind primarily for use in their in-store trading stamp and change-making programs during the mid-twentieth century, when loose coin shortages occasionally made exact-change transactions cumbersome at checkout. Private retail scrip of this type occupied a legal gray area — not currency, not quite a coupon — and was redeemable only at issuing locations, which kept it out of federal jurisdiction.
Almost none was preserved intentionally. Survivors exist because someone tucked one into a drawer and forgot it.
