💰 Ever heard of a "Beck dollar"?

For , we're showcasing this unique coin from the C. Beck Manufacturing Company Ltd. collection. Employees earned Beck dollars and used them to purchase groceries and dry goods at company-operated stores.

Founded by Charles Beck, the company was a major lumber and wood products manufacturer based in Penetanguishene from 1875 to 1969. 🌳

Artifacts like this help tell the story of work, industry, and everyday life in Simcoe County.
