it's a novelty, they're not super common, and it has nothing to do with the monetary amount. Gold stars don't have any value either, yet they can represent something really special to both the giver and receiver.

You should try and look past the literal aspects of things.

To give another example: there was a small restaurant in my hometown that gave change in two dollar bills. It's sort of an easy way to be pleasantly quirky.
