(1985) Complete Eight-Piece Alaska 50th Annivesary Bingle Set

The story of the Alaska "Bingles" begins during the Great Depression. Midwestern farmers, struggling with depressed crop prices, were relocated by the Federal government to the fertile Matanuska Valley. Beginning in 1935, those farmers involved in Federal work projects were paid partly in Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Corporation tokens, which at first could only be redeemed in government-operated stores. Local merchants also began to accept the tokens, which defeated their food stamp-related purpose. Token distribution ended in 1937. This commemorative 50th Anniversary set is complete, including the One cent (octagonal), Five cent, Ten cent, Twenty-five cent, Fifty cent, One dollar (these first six coins are in white metal), and the brass Five and Ten dollar pieces. Each piece grades Uncirculated with attractive, original surfaces. The set is housed in a custom Capital plastic holder, imprinted ALASKA RURAL REHABILITATION CORPORATION / PALMER ALASKA 1055
