- Description
- Mill tokens were given out to mill employees as an advance on their pay. The catch was they could only be used in the mill general store. Since minting coins was expensive, many mills shared coinage with surrounding mills and differentiated them by punching the first letter of the mill name in them. Victor Mill coins came in the 1¢, 5¢, 10¢, 25¢, and even one dollar variants.
