Description: On April 19th 1933 the United States went off the gold standard. Back in Fort Worth, Texas Mr.Leonard had the idea of printing money that could be spent at Leonard Brothers store. The idea was quickly put into play, and $100,000 of paper scrip in the denominations of $10, $5, $1 and 50 cents were printed, and special tokens were made from 50 cent down to ½ cent. The problem was that few businesses could cash workers checks, so Leonard Brothers would cash workers checks, and give the person half of the money in cash, and half in Leonard Brothers scrip and tokens. The Leonard Brothers money found its way into general circulation in Fort Worth, and many other merchants began accepting it as they would regular currency. This is a historic 1933-1935 Leonard Bros. Texas Business Token. It is a circulated brass token that was manufactured in the United States. The token is a great addition to any coin collector's collection and is a piece of American history. It is perfect for anyone who is interested in Exonumia and US Trade tokens. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this unique piece of history.
