Oh, those take me back. You would get a paper strip with a code on it, then use the decoder. The next Saturday, you would turn in the completed code and get a mazuma, which you could save up and trade in for stuff like Silly Putty, jacks, jump rope - that sort of thing. I don't remember the copper coin, but the plastic mazumas came in lots of colors and were about the size of poker chips.
I haven't thought about this in years! Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
