In cleaning up around the house I found the bag of sales tax tokens my grandfather gave me. Anyone here collect these?

If its the brass 5 mills with the star they are pretty common, worth a shot putting in the BIN section

Edit: also maybe worth selling on ebay or etsy as there are people who make cufflinks/charms out of these and may like the opportunity of buying multiples

I collect sales tax tokens and have about 30 different, ranging from metal to plastic to fiber. Ohio was the only state to have several long series of sales tax stamps (paper). Considering design, paper color, watermarks (4 positions), denominations, printers, and perforations, there are over 10,000 varieties.

=====================

While I'm here, as I don't see anywhere to ask questions about using the website, is there any way to arrange all new posts, regardless of thread, in strict chronological order, latest at the top? And can you post images out of your own computer's "My Pictures," or does every image require a URL? I like to add some kind of relevant image to every post.

doug444, at the upper left of the index page click on "view unread posts" all posts that you have not viewed will come up with the newest at top. It took me about 4 years on this site before I found out about this. Whenever I have time or the forum is slow I go back and read old posts. I am back to 2013 now.
