| Additional information |
White Bear Lake Coin Club issued this brass dollar in 1967 as part of the broader exonumia boom of that decade, when hundreds of local coin clubs across the United States produced their own trade tokens and medals to mark anniversaries, conventions, or simply club identity. The practice peaked roughly between 1960 and 1975, driven partly by the nationwide coin collecting craze that followed the 1955 doubled-die Lincoln cent and the subsequent emptying of pocket change across America.
