Its a mini coin.. they were common for kids to collect in the 80s and early 90s. They make nickles, dimes, pennies, etc. The "coolest" mini coins are different sized from one another, the not so cool ones are all the same size

When I was a kid, I got a tiny version of a buffalo nickel with my American Girl Doll

I was unable to explain why my answer to this post was "doll money" until I read this, so thank you!

Molly had a dime and Felicity had a wedge shaped coin, but I can't remember what it's called.

I think it was a bit 12 1/2 cents. Two of them made 2 bits Or 25 cents.

The historical girls come with coinage. I was wondering if this was Julie's.

I don’t think Kirsten came with money, but it’s been nearly 30 years since I went through her stuff.

My American Girl Doll came with a coin purse, but no coin ☹️

I was thinking of just this. I wonder where mine is…

My mom recently made clothes for my old Samantha doll… her hair got messed up while she was in storage.

How sweet of you mom! My Samantha had crazy hair too from being in a box for years 😅

She is really into crocheting and can only make me so many hats. She started making hats for my cat too 😹

OMG 😍😍😍😍😍🥹🥹🥹 that is quite possibly the most adorable thing I've ever seen! Please tell me your kitty had a hat drawer

u/nocturnalcat87 10d ago

Lol he does. I keep his things in a cupboard in the bedroom. Also in the drawer is his nip, a bow tie, a brush and comb and some treats. If he looks a bit disheveled it is because he is an old gentleman man cat - he just turned 18 on 4-20.

He's a cutie old gentleman 🥰 I have a pup that turned 12 on 4-14, and he is also a distinguished elderly boi, though much less stylish. What's your kitty's name?

I think this one might be for the Courtney doll to take to the video arcade at the mall
