Those 1915 AYPE Bear spinners.....Who thinks like that ?

With the 1915 date, I wonder if that's a souvenir from the Panama Pacific Exposition. Very cool.

Yes, they are from the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE) and occur in several different types and minor size varieties both with and without PPIE on the spinner. I have not seen any similar items from the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition (AYPE) which was held in Seattle in 1909 (and has no connection to bears, California type or other). The spinner token shows up fairly often -- the frame is at least 10x rarer (as on many framed spinners).
There are several types (not expo-related) that substitute humans for the bears but most framed spinners have partial letters that look like gibberish on each side but when spun visually create names or phrases.

I absolutely love your OVERACTIVE imagination and sometimes spend way too much time trying to figure out what you are seeing. Most of the time I don't see it, but I know I'll keep trying.
Even in hard economic times like the 1920s hyperinflation in Germany - the ducat defecating donkey is a wry attempt at humour for an otherwise miserable time.

Very neat note but that isn't ducats. It's "Dukoten Schitt"

Very cool!

I was wondering if others felt that the prices were high and the estimates for future growth in value were off also.
Collector coins for life.
Just playin games, GTAO, and enjoying banknotes. WPM fun to collect.
Wow! I look for these and that's the first I've seen in a spinner!
Simply Awesome!

I think they were, but the other side said AYPE (IIRC).....

In this way collectors were mocked who collected the emergency money.
I try to translate the text of the old writing in the field:
“A Donkey who shits ducats - we Paderborner don’t have it.
But there are enough donkeys in the world, they buy our paper money.”
Looks whizzed.
Feel for the cherry picker viewing that and trying to closely look with their Loupe, for that certain variety!

My first variety find for a Canadian coin!

To think, if that's filmed in the 30's? He could be throwing some Standing Liberty's, 1916 Mercs, 3-legged Buffalo's and the rarer Walker's. Lol.
