Comment

This token is used by a company called "Kiddie Rides" that provides children's rides in shopping malls in the Western Cape, South Africa. Kiddie Rides facilities are known to exist in 2023 at the following malls:

The Paddocks, Milnerton, Cape Town
Bayside Mall, Table View, Cape Town

The token was minted by the Independent Mint (Pty) Ltd of Midrand, South Africa. This mint, described in documentation specifically as a token manufacturer, appears to have produced tokens for use in local gaming establishments as well as for export. Their products have been seen in use in South Africa and Tanzania, but may be found in additional countries.
