Default Theatre Money?

Stumbled upon this coin about 3 years ago... anyone know anything about it? how much it might be worth? it's about the size of a nickel.

It's from the Hillsboro, TX Palace Theatre... back in the 1920's and early 30's they had a run on at least 5c and 10c (maybe others?) tokens. If it was found in Germany, possibly a lucky token of a soldier who fought over there?

Saw one on eBay going for around $10 USD, in much worse condition.
