Little is known about the issue. Roker suggests that the checks may have been used in the 1930s for the toilet facilities at the Kirkcaldie & Stains store, or possibly as staff discount tokens. The penny was possibly used as a lavatory token, although it is also feasible that both denominations were 'canteen' tokens used in the tearooms of the store from 1898.
