One of my bartenders knows I collect money and gave this to me, I know it's not worth much but it's still fun. Anyone else have some wooden certificates or coins?



Curious why they misspelled "Nickel"?

​"Nickle" is the British/Canadian spelling.

"Nickle" is actually a misspelling. The standard spelling is "nickel", including in Canada and in the UK.

I wouldn't be surprised if the misspelling was intentional to make it "of the people". Just like people may intentionally write "ain't" or "he don't". An even better example is "critter" for "creature".
