| Comments |
Peaceful River Bar was almost certainly a tavern, saloon, or social club operating in the mid-1960s that issued these small-denomination paper chits for use within the establishment — a practice common in American bars and clubs of the period as a way to manage tabs, run internal scrip economies, or facilitate gaming without handling loose change. The issuer is otherwise unrecorded in standard notaphilic references, which puts this squarely in the category of ephemeral localized scrip.
Two-year dating windows like 1964–1965 on bar scrip typically indicate a licensed operating period rather than two distinct print runs.
