| Comments |
Peaceful River Bar was almost certainly a tavern or roadhouse scrip issuer — private tokens and small-denomination paper issued by bars and clubs to facilitate change-making or in-house credit were still circulating in parts of rural North America well into the 1960s. A 10-cent denomination in pink paper suggests a single-use or limited-function token rather than a general-purpose substitute currency.
No bank backing, no government sanction. Redeemable only at the counter that printed it.
