Reference Catalogue: Tasmanian Passes, Checks & Club Tokens by Noel G. Harper ISBN 0 9590114 04
These check pieces were used to pay out jackpot payments from the club poker machines. They could be used to purchase cigarettes or liquor as well as a few grocery items. They were not used in the actual machines.
This 1/- piece is listed in Harper as NH5. The others in the series are a 3D, another 6D variety (10% offset), 1/-, and 2/6 - all the same size.
