Tokens in Latin America served the same purpose as company scrip in the coal mining areas of Appalachia.
By paying workers in tokens instead of regular cash, employers could force workers to spend money at company stores rather than with ordinary merchants.
Workers were thus made even more dependent on the employer, and opened another avenue for exploitation.
YOU WILL RECEIVED THE SAME TOKEN AS PICTURED.
ALL COINS ARE AUTHENTIC AS DESCRIBED.
