Bar scrip from Cadott, Wisconsin — a town of roughly 1,400 people sitting almost exactly halfway between the equator and the North Pole, which is the source of both the town's minor fame and almost certainly this token note's name. Rick's Halfway Bar leans into that geographic claim, and the scrip itself is a functional artifact of the small-bar drink-ticket economy that persisted across rural Wisconsin taverns well into the late twentieth century.
