A wooden nickel is a wooden token coin, typically issued in the United States by merchants, banks, or organizations as a promotional item or souvenir, often redeemable for small goods like a drink. They became notable during the Great Depression when some towns, like Tenino, Washington, used them as emergency scrip due to coin shortages, representing a fraction of bank deposits for local trade.
