    Sales tax tokens were fractional cent devices used to pay sales tax on very small purchases in many American states during the years of the Great Depression.  Tax tokens were created as a means for consumers to avoid being “overcharged” by having to pay a full penny tax on purchases of five or ten cents.  Issued by private firms, municipalities and by twelve state governments, sales tax tokens were generally issued in multiples of 1 mill or one tenth of a cent.
