Vintage Alabama 5 Mills Luxury Tax & Sales Tax Tokens Size: 16 mm.
Luxury tax tokens are collectible coins that represent a the historic period when sales taxes were first instituted in the United States. Only 12 states issued tax tokens and they were primarily sales tax tokens. Alabama issued both a sales tax and a luxury tax token.
Alabama issued tax tokens from March 1, 1937, through March 31, 1948. By 1948 several other states had already ceased production of their tax token. By this time, after WWII, people were tired of the alternative currencies such as ration coupons and just wanted things to be simple. So states began to discontinue the luxury tax tokens.
