Coin Details

Description

This 1940 white metal token cataloged as TC-43013 is a dollar-denomination piece from the LDS Church Welfare Plan in Utah, representing the highest standard denomination in the welfare plan token series. The dollar value would have covered substantial purchases at church-operated stores, including larger quantities of canned goods, clothing, or other necessities. Like the half dollar denomination, the dollar token was struck in white metal to distinguish it from the brass lower values. The LDS Church Welfare Plan represented a remarkable institutional response to the Great Depression, creating a comprehensive system that provided employment, food production, and distribution services to church members in need. The token series documents this system's sophistication, with denominations paralleling the standard American monetary system.
