| Comments |
Bar scrip from Weyauwega — a small Waupaca County town of around 1,900 people — is rarely documented anywhere in the standard notaphilic literature. This piece almost certainly functioned as a promotional drink token redeemable at the issuing establishment, a practice that persisted in small Midwestern taverns well into the late twentieth century, skirting the technical illegality of private currency through the fiction of being a "trade coupon" rather than money.
No print run figures are known. These circulated in a single bar and were redeemed and discarded rather than saved.
