Civil War Tradesman's Token
Gustavus Lindenmueller, a New York barkeeper, issued large numbers of tokens bearing his name and likeness in 1863; by some estimates he circulated as many as one million of them. The tokens were larger than a quarter and likely circulated with a value of two cents. When the Third Avenue Railroad brought him a large quantity of his tokens that it had accepted in payment for train tickets and asked him to redeem them, he blatantly refused. This is generally believed to have been the incident that brought Congress’ attention to the irresponsible nature of private money. On April 22, 1864, Congress outlawed the private issuance of any one- or two-cent coins. A month and a half later, on June 8, it prohibited private coinage of any denomination.
After all the jewelry the Purple Mage was obliged to wear as status markers, this little token of devotion is that much more precious to Nightowl.
Shoppers receive tokens to vote for local charities to receive a share of the store's monthly charity donation.
This token is commonly attributed to a Flower Carnival in San Francisco in 1897, however my own research turns up no references to such a carnival in San Francisco in 1897.
There was an apparently minor flower carnival closer to San Mateo, but the prominent flower carnival in 1897 by far is the 1897 Colorado Springs Flower Carnival. There is a known token for that carnival that is nothing like this one:

Expos often had more than one token, so I consider the San Francisco attribution to be suspect.

After driving all day in the pouring rain (and driving snow) from Fort Madison, Iowa to Fremont, Nebraska to get out of the crap weather, I was rewarded with a grubby Union Pacific GE in DPU mode in drop-under sunset light. Well worth the time, eh?
Los Angeles Transit Lines token, Los Angeles Railway token, Honolulu Rapid Transit Co. Ltd. token, Pacific Electric Railway Co. token. June 22, 2013.
Strange a saloon would stamp a coin that's such a high value. A half dollar then is equivalent to something like $20 of purchasing value today.
counterstamped on 1857 and 1858 O Seated Half Dollars
Listing in an 1860 Tennessee business directory for Wyant Benjamin, May-flower saloon, 137 Main. [Memphis, Tennessee]
Seems another example of these comes up on ebay every six months or so.
Either this saloon distributed an incredible number of these or someone is taking plain and greatly worn old half dollars and putting this stamping on them to sell today for $200+ a pop.

I, for one, would be perfectly happy to pay a toll on a new bridge or highway. Do you think they'll let me use my old tokens?

The signaller at Rainford Junction collects the token for the single line section to Kirkby from the driver of Northern Class 156, 156 427. The 'Super Sprinter' was forming the 2J36 12:29 Kirkby to Wigan Wallgate service.
Rainford Junction station - built in 1858 - used to be a busy intersection of the Liverpool and Bury Railway, the East Lancashire Railway's Skelmersdale Branch and the St. Helens Railway. However, lines gradually closed during the 1950s and 1960s and by the 1970s the line was down to just the single route between Wigan and Kirkby and the station was renamed plain old "Rainford".
The signal box retains the full "Rainford Junction" name and - along with the semaphores - is a reminder of a much busier railway in times gone by at this location.
