History Repeats Itself

       
A collector of Doylestown memorabilia recently contacted me to inform me that Superior Woodcraft’s newly minted wooden nickel isn't the first time wooden nickels were issued in Doylestown, Pa.  In 1938 the Doylestown Centennial Committee issued a unique commemorative wooden nickel for the Borough’s celebration of its 100th year of Incorporation.


The Doylestown Centennial wooden nickel could be exchanged in trade at any Doylestown business and was redeemable by bearer at the Doylestown Trust Company or Doylestown National Bank and Trust Company if presented prior to a specified time on June 2, 1938.

Seventy three years later we have another wooden nickel being issued in Doylestown, Pa.  Superior Woodcraft wooden nickels are in circulation and can be found at many local businesses.  The Superior Woodcraft's wooden nickel is redeemable at Superior Woodcraft in Doylestown.  Sometimes good ideas repeat themselves.

“Confidence Makes Good. Money made of Wood.”

In 75 years from now collectors will be searching for the 2011 Superior Woodcraft Wooden nickel, but you can get yours today.
