This is a first for me but I’m guessing Baltimore the early 90s. Purely a guess.
Composition: Plastic
Weight: 0.5 Gr

    Not sure if it helps, but it looks like it might be "play money" from Learning Resources.

    Well obviously it's play money but if it actually helped buy lunch for some kid I would think that was pretty significant.

    That is close but no stars on this one, certainly from the same era. Whatever that is...

    @MetroD Well that certainly is the same coin in the pic. I assumed they were actually lunch money that somehow you earned.

    Is this what you were asking for? >:)

    Well, to be quite honest I had it at MS68 and was pretty sure somebody would agree :D However the equal sign I'm pretty sure is post 2,000. Again I could be wrong...

    It’s what they use to teach kids about money and counting. Second grade. The school sent them home
    For teaching They did look different but that’s what the school used them for. (Props). I wish they would have sent real money.

    This.

    'Learning Resources' also sells a cash register and an ATM to facilitate learning.

    Definitely just a math manipulative tool for an elementary school. We use similiar ones at the school I work at. The kids love to play with them and especially the paper money.

    I did not know they were using play money in school for teaching. But I am old and have been out of and away from anything school related for a long time (except for professional college courses). Seems we were taught arithmetic and used no props at all....Coins and bills were described by denomination... though most of us had learned basic coin change before going to school. Parents were good at that. ;) Cheers, RickO
