| Comments |
Private scrip from a bar and grill in Chetek, Wisconsin — a small town of roughly 2,000 in Barron County — this $3.50 piece belongs to a loose American tradition of novelty merchant currency that accelerated sharply during the 2020–2021 coin shortage. The denomination itself is the only thing genuinely unusual here: fractional private scrip at this level is uncommon, and $3.50 suggests it was pegged to a specific menu item or promotional offer rather than issued as general-purpose change.
The nearly square format and dark yellow stock make it immediately identifiable as house-printed rather than commercially produced.
