Formerly known as Canadian Trade Dollars, Canadian municipal trade
tokens are community coins sponsored by a local non-profit
organization and given legal monetary value in a specific area, for
a limited time, by the appropriate local authority.  They are used
as money in normal commercial transaction during the period of
validity.  These tokens have been issued, however, for commemorative
and fund raising purposes since 1958."
