1 Cent - Gemco Anaheim, California

Gemco was a membership-based discount department store chain operated by Lucky Stores across the western United States, primarily in California. Like several large retailers of the 1960s–70s, Gemco issued its own scrip for internal use — change-making tokens and small-denomination paper notes that smoothed transactions at the registers without requiring a constant supply of low-denomination coinage from the Federal Reserve. The Anaheim location was one of Gemco's busier Southern California stores.

This scrip has no legal tender status and was redeemable only at the issuing store. Gemco closed all locations in 1986 when Lucky Stores exited the membership retail format.
