CVK- So, The red plastic is 1/10 of a cent. The green plastic is 5/10s or 1/2 cent The grey plastic is 5/10s or 1/2 cent The zinc is 1/10 cent The zinc mil with whole is 5/10s or 1/2 cent? You mention the zincs were "receipts" and the plastic "greens'" & "reds" were "tokens" .What was the difference? If none, could I then assume the greens and zincs were not in circulation at the same time? I assume the zincs were before greens as I don't remember anything after the plastic "reds" & greens" plastic.

It has the words Sales Tax Token The Green Plastic Mil is Five. It also has the words Sales Tax Token. Then there is a Gray plastic Mil which is Five Mils. It says Sales Tax Token. The Zinc Mil is ONE. It has the words Sales Tax Receipt. There is a Zinc Mil with a hole in the center which is FIVE. It says Sales Tax Receipt.
