1980 "Wooden Dollar" ???

I found this at an antique show and bought it because it was cool. I have looked on Ebay and Google and can't find another one! Its apparently made in 1980 at the height of inflation and right before the gold/silver top. If you know history, its a cool little piece of culture of the times. Can any older members that were active in the hard money movement or gold investing world back then ID this or know who made it or if its from a particular organization???
