Old CCC tokens. Have no idea.

I bought these at a thrift shop with foreign coins. Two say CCC 50 and one just says CCC. Search the Internet and couldn't find anything. Nothing on back of any of them.

Hey coinsareawesome!! Probably related to back in the 30's. The CCC was very active in that era!! My Dad actually worked for the CCC when he was a young man and in high school!! GOOD LUCK and GOOD HUNTING!! VERDE!!

Those don't look like any Civilian Conservation Corps tokens I have seen. Go to TokenCatalog.com and put CCC in the search box and look at the pics posted there. These appear to be piecework checks - workers at the Carson (or whatever) Canning Company process 50 boxes/buckets/or whatever they are processing, and get a token. At the end of the shift they turn in what they have accumulated and their pay is credited with the going rate. This type of token was widely used on the east coast and in many other locations around the country. Getting a firm attribution on them is very tough.

My folks have some similar to these but different. I know these were given out on projects is Alabama. Could the different areas of the country the CCC were in issued different tokens>

We had CCC camp houses less than a mile from where I lived growing up. They were being lived in until the seventies when the coal company had them torn down.
