Donkey Dollars

Something else discovered while sorting through the stuff in my Father-In-Law's house. There was no date on this, and offhand I thought it might have come from the 1960s — but further research reveals these were distributed during the 1944 Presidential Campaign of Thomas Dewey and John Bricker. (No, I'd never heard of him, either.) I love that quaint reference to "Honest, Full-Value Dollars Under a Republican Administration." This was somehow supposed to represent the declining value of the dollar, but I'm not sure that was so carefully calculated. (In case you're wondering, or want to do the math, it's 2" tall by just under 4" wide.)
