Comment
Lincoln Business College was founded in 1884, and by 1925 had merged with the Nebraska School of Business to become the Lincoln School of Commerce. Its successor still exists today.These tokens were used to train clerks on the proper methods of handling money. Examples would be how to properly make change with the fewest coins returned, how to "break" a larger denomination for a customer or tally the total of the register at then end of the day.
