Mississippi Sales Tax Commission Token, a historical artifact used during the Great Depression era in the United States.
Here's more information about these tokens:
Purpose: These tokens were issued by various states, including Mississippi, to facilitate the collection of sales tax on small purchases, specifically fractional amounts of a cent (mills) where standard coinage wasn't practical.
Value: The tokens were typically valued in "mills," where one mill equaled one-tenth of a cent (1/10¢).
Usage Period: Mississippi issued these aluminum tokens primarily between 1936 and 1941, as part of a system to manage sales tax during the economic hardships of the Great Depression.
Historical Significance: These tokens represent a unique solution to a specific economic challenge during a critical period in American history, reflecting the ingenuity used to implement new taxation systems when cash was scarce.
Collectibility: Today, they are considered collectible items.
