75 Vintage Depression Era 1925-1940 Zinc Missouri Sales Tax Receipt Coins Tokens

Description

Vintage 1925-1940 Zinc Missouri Sales Tax Receipt Coin Token.
This is a sales tax token from the State of Missouri. Back during a time when one US cent was actually worth something, various states issued sales tax tokens to account for fractions of a cent when computing tax. The tax tokens from Missouri are from the Depression era. They were used when the sale's tax on an item was less than a cent.
Since there were no fractional cents to give change, the final price of an item was rounded up and the difference paid back to the customer in sales tax tokens. These tokens could be used to pay all or part of any sales tax at the time of another purchase.
There are a variety of condition and wear.
Please see all photos as they are a very substantial part of my description.
Shipped with USPS First Class.
