The downtown farmer's market also takes these coins.

are these coins only good at the northside farmers' market and not exchangeable on Tuesdays at the downside farmers' market in ytown downtown from 130pm to 5pm?

Growing up, my neighbor always advised, "Don't you take no wooden nickel!"

There are folks that collect this type of coin and you see them on eBay quite often but usually they are antique.

Well I don't think my metal detector will find them.

There is a new means of exchange in Youngstown.  The Youngstown, Ohio wooden coin will be placed in circulation at the North Side Farmers' Market this weekend.

I wonder if these coins will be of interest to coin collectors.
