Arizona State Tax Commission
To Make Change For 1 Correct Sales Tax Payment
Rescued: January 2025
In the 1930s, many states began to charge a sales tax. However, the tax often led to the total cost coming down to fractions of a cent. For example, an item costing $1.50 with a sales tax of 3% would result in a total of $1.545. In order to prevent either the retailer or the customer from profiting by rounding up or down, tax coins were introduced. By using a tax coin, a customer would pay $1.54 plus 5 sales tax coins or pay $1.55 and receive 5 sales tax coins as change. The practice of using sales tax coins died out in the 1950’s.

WWII US Military Hat Badge.
Would have loved to keep it green but the AZ dirt was just too packed in it. Cleaning up nicely but it’s a process.
