Ogdensburg is an unincorporated community in Waushara County with a population that has rarely exceeded a few hundred. A privately issued scrip note denominated in dollars and bearing the name of a retail liquor establishment is almost certainly promotional currency — the kind issued by bars, taverns, and package stores throughout the American Midwest from the 1970s onward as loyalty tokens, drink tickets, or in-house trade currency redeemable against purchases.
No federal prohibition on such instruments applies provided they are not designed to circulate as general currency. The Booze Barn has not surfaced in any broader numismatic literature, making provenance here entirely local.
