Not in '99 they didn't. There were ATM machines everywhere, and famously, they were the first things to be set on fire and plundered.
If they had, seems like there would be more memorabilia of keeping these tokens? There are many from 1994 - are you misremembering?

- afpx 4y agoYeah, thanks for pointing that out. my memory is mixing the two up. Sorry
- justinator 4y agoYeah, no big deal, really. The addition of Woodstock Bucks would have made '99 even more crazy. I couldn't imagine the backlash from thousands of people holding onto worthless tokens after what happened on the last night, and management potentially making the worst decision possible on if they should/should not trade them in for cash (saying nothing about you, the vendors!)
