I re-uploaded this shot to show how cool the original phone and graffiti looked in the Token Lounge before they tried to clean the joint up :)
I used the $36 weekly pass while in Toronto, and thus have no experience with tokens here. Please note advertising on the turnstile and on the ticket vending station. This is an important source of revenue for the TTC, and helps boost the farebox recovery ratio to over 70%.
A communion token is a metal token issued to members of Presbyterian churches in order to provide them entrance to the Lord's Supper. There were many types issued in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries, but they were largely superseded by communion cards. These particular tokens were issued by St Andrew's Church in Rodney Street , Liverpool , and are dated 1824 , the year the church opened .

The tokens from a 1950s Monopoly board game. They were introduced to represent British transport, military might, industry and history. They are: Sir Nigel Gresley’s Mallard, a Centurion main battle tank, a British motor bike, a Rover 75 car (the first car I ever owned), a bulldozer and Sir Francis Drake’s Golden Hind.

In Single Line Section where there is only one set of tracks for up and down trains,all trains have to take a token to proceed further,it is a sigh that "Yes you can Enter Now,the track is clear and you have the Authority".

Member of railway staff exchanging 'tokens' with the engine driver on arrival at Highley Station, Shropshire, UK.
Tokens are a simple 19th century idea so no two trains can be on a section of single track at any one given time, hence avoiding any collisions.

The man on horseback is no longer part of the classic game.
I created this little rose design in the spirit of victorian love tokens for a papercutting workshop this weekend at Wing & Clover in Rhinebeck, NY: wingandclover.com.
The center opens up to a little space for a secret sentiment.
Patriotic Civil War Token
This patriotic token was meant to remind voters that fate of the nation depended upon the re-election of President Lincoln in the fall elections.
These old tokens, also known as bar chips are from a now closed bar which was located in Larksville, PA.
Such chips were given when one patron wanted to buy another one a drink. Different shapes, and/or colors determined what type of drink was to be given.
Many bars had such tokens, but now with contemporary registers, paper slips are printed, usually with the value and date printed on it. This is designed to keep customers from trying to get a higher priced drink with a lower valued chip. And they are dated so that they must be used on the date issued.
These colorful and nostalgic collectibles have a good following of collectors.

This is how the token exchange is done during the night time. This one was speeding at nearly 80 kmph
1) The khalasi lights a 'Mashal' and holds up in the right hand
2) The LP honks and acknowledges from far off
3) The khalasi then holds up the token ring in the left hand
4) The LP switches the headlights off to enable the assistant to sight the token ring next to the fire
5) voila, before you can say 'token', the token ring is collected by the assistant
All in all an exciting visual

The new TTC tokens are slightly fatter than the old ones -- and thus more difficult to insert into ye olde token holder. Damn you TTC!
Brass token used in a Haslingden (Lancashire UK) foundry. Probably used to check which worker were present. One of my Chattwood relatives worked at this foundry so perhaps it could be his.

The tour would soon come back this way enroute to Sheffield and onwards to Cleethorpes.

Monopoly is derived from the Landlord's Game, a board game designed and patented by Lizzie G. Magie in 1904. She revised and renewed the patent on her game in 1924. The version Magie originated did not involve the concept of a monopoly.
In fact, the rules to the game had been invented in Washington DC in 1903 by a bold, progressive woman named Elizabeth Magie. But her place in the game's folk history was lost for decades and ceded to the man who had picked it up at his friend's house: Charles Darrow
