===Mandrake's Magic Coin===
A slightly smaller coin will fit inside the "coin shell", so it's easy to make a coin appear or disappear.
The token was listed in a catalogue of magic tokens; TAMS journal V.18 #5 Oct.1978 (part 2). It is # MT236 issued 1941 and the insert was a US 1 ct with the tail side ground down.
There is uncertainty about the origin of this token. Some suppose it originates from one of the [[Mandrake the Magician - Magic Kit|magic kit's]] that were made ​​in the years 1949 to 1957.
But the similarity between this token and the "Mandrake's Magic Club" badge indicates that this has something to do with the [[Mandrake the Magician (Radio Show)|Radio Show]]. The coin shell could be a premium for "Mandrake's Magic Club" late 40s or [[Taystee Bread Company|Taystee Bread's]] [[Mandrake Magicians Club]] early 40s. Another possibility is that the token could be a candy premium put out by the Suchard Chocolate company about the same time the radio show was aired.
