1940 TC-43010 Brass L.D.S. Church Welfare Plan UT Dime

Coin Details

Description

This 1940 brass token cataloged as TC-43010 is a dime-denomination piece from the LDS Church Welfare Plan in Utah. The dime value placed this token in the lower-middle range of the welfare plan denomination series, suitable for purchasing basic food staples and household supplies at church distribution centers. The LDS welfare system was designed to provide for members' temporal needs while maintaining their dignity, offering work opportunities in exchange for assistance rather than simple charity. The 1940 date indicates this token was produced during the early years of the welfare plan, which had been established just four years earlier. These dated tokens are distinguishable from the later undated versions, making the 1940 series particularly collectible as the earliest documented emission.
