I've mentioned this before, with a picture of my own (which I have no idea the whereabouts of right now): When you walked into the Seattle World's Fair in 1962, they'd give you this coin that was worth $1 which could be used at most of the attractions. Most of them were spent, probably recirculated a few times, and then likely melted down after the World's Fair ended... but a few did come home with people.
