I believe that's the same as the one discussed here: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/169705-play-money.html
Edit: I got that a bit wrong, as it's not the one initially being discussed, but is included in the old ad posted by BigCypressHunter in that link

In the 50's I could buy a whole bag of play money for 10cents at the dime store. Tony

Looks like a child's play coin, (thin dime). Or the (one henny).

Does it say THIN DIME PLAY COIN on the other side?

It look like it says the same thing on both sides. "One Dime" "Play Money"

Here it is. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/34051-play-money-id-coin.html

This is a c. 1950's play coin made in Japan for the U.S. market, and imitating the style of the Tracies Company play money which was very popular at that time. It is listed in Play Money of American Children by Richard F. Clothier.

Hey Ant. What's up with the 1945 penny?

It is for scale to judge the size of the play coins.

That's what i figured. I noticed a horseshoe in there. Where you able to date it. Also is it broken or in tact. Initials? Just curious. I found one simular.

I don'tt know, I usually don't keep them but I kept these two. I think I have a couple more somewhere. I see that one of these has a name on it, can you elaborate any on these two?
