I found it at an old fairground that dates back to the 1870's. It's about the size of a dime which is quite a bit smaller than the Oklahoma tax tokens.

Cherry Picker Forum Supporter Joined Jan 12, 2006 Messages 13,560 Location Dodge City KS Jun 23, 2006 #11 Kansas tax tokens were used between 1936-1939. I've got some with the hole in the center and some without. Here is some links to info about tax tokens http://www.taxtoken.org/ http://vip.hpnc.com/~johnoste/tax.htm
