No Date TC-177181 Brass L.D.S. Church Welfare Plan UT Dollar

Coin Details

Description

This undated brass token cataloged as TC-177181, denominated as a dollar, is from the later undated series of LDS Church Welfare Plan tokens in Utah. As the highest standard denomination, the dollar token was used for the largest routine purchases within the church welfare distribution system. Like the half dollar, this undated version is struck in brass rather than the white metal used for the dated 1940 dollar token (TC-43013), indicating a standardization of composition across all denominations. The dollar denomination would have been essential for purchasing larger quantities of staples or higher-value items such as clothing or household goods. The complete undated LDS welfare token set — nickel through dollar in five denominations — mirrors the standard American coinage denominations, demonstrating the sophistication of this parallel monetary system.
