Default Need ID Help

Found this today and need help on ID of what it came from. Found this tiny coin looking thing and wanted to try and figure out what it was. Gave it the spit test. Licked my finger and put it on the disc. was able to see a bust type picture of some sort. Took it home and cleaned it up. It is smaller than a dime. The front reads Franklin D. Roosevelt and has him on the front. The back has the number 1 in the center and reads lucky play money around the top. Does anyone know what it came from?

Not sure where it was made or anything...but there is one in very good shape on eBay...also, if you'll Google the words "Franklin D. Roosevelt Lucky Play Money"...you'll see another site that has one for sale for $10.00...

Nice find. I never heard of play money like that. I must just be a puppy.

Arrow Neater than zinc

Pretty sad comment, but it looks like the play money is more valuable than real US currency. Maybe I should have held on to my play money when I was a kid!
Great find and interesting background from Pappy.
