I recently acquired a 1 fen Manchukuo coin, it is made from red fibre. I was wondering if anyone is aware of any other examples of non-metallic circulating coins.
I know that the Japanese issued a clay coin towards the end of WWII, are there any other examples?
Most of this coin is metal, but a part of it is not
Issued today. The hell is going on here in Germany. This thing was hyped a bit in newspapers in in TV and so on.

The Bundesbank gives only one coin per person.
The people on ebay are running crazy.

Here is a Depression Era scrip from Willapa Harbor Washington. This one is from the first series issued, and it is printed on a thin Cedar sheet. They are quite fragile, and are scarce in good condition. The second series issued was printed on laminated paper.
Another funny example, in French Colonial / Canadian history: monnaie de carte or cards used as tokens to replace missing coinage.
