What is it? Thin Dime

Hi all, my first time to post on this site. :blowup: I am looking for help in identifying this object. It was found next to an old demolished building that was used by the rail road. The building is located about 20 or 30 ft from the train track and was a small building. It looks like it could be one or two rooms. There are no other buildings near buy and the land is owned by the RR.

It is a sturdy metal and can't be bent easily. I think it might have been used for purchasing coffee as it has the coffee cup on both sides of it. I found it about 2" in the ground. The picture tells it all. I have it next to a dime to give perspective. What do you think it is?

Thanks for your help.

This is just a guess, but since it says "play money", I'd almost think it either belonged to an old game, or was just part of a "bag" of play money kids would play with. If you find something out, let us know. I always like to hear the history & origin of things. Nice score!

Here's a post on a DFX forum with photos. The second one is a thin dime. Don't know how much it's worth but I believe it's a collectible.

Looks like what my Sister had when she was a kid"Long time ago" Sorry Sis.........It's a cup of tea on the coin and it was a play set she had.
Cups saucers and play money for the purchase of goods...... Man I drank more tea !!!!!!
 
Thanks very much for the info. Times are sure different now.... It is very small and I'm sure if it is just play money, it would never be sold today cause it might be swallowed. Hmm guess the kids were smarter then,,, lololol :starwars:

These are play money used in kids cash registers that were made. Some where in just bags of play money too and think the ones that are collectible are those that have dates on them like a reg coins do.
