Paying for drink without the hassle of searching for the correct amount of money? This can be done via tokens of the
Token Company.
An odd little token I found in the grass outside of work. A Google search has found it's just an arcade token - not nearly as exciting as originally thought it could be given where it was found.

from one of those make-it-yourself machines that used to be everywhere. When I was a kid in the early 60's we would go to the bus station and make them with obscenities on them, thinking we were getting away with something. Come to think of it, if I could find one now, I would probably still do the same thing - - some people never grow up
The tokens really are a bargain -- 50 (40 plus "10 free") cost $10 -- we had a coupon to give us 40 + 30 "free" for $10. Each game then takes one token and spits out tickets which can be traded in for dollar-store junk. Still, it made kiddo plenty happy.

Per Larry Moran this token was struck in 1797. It commemorated a mail delivery service which was started by J. Palmer and traveled from Liverpool to London and back. Note the die cracks on the obverse of this coin.
The designs on all ramatankas were inspired by scenes from the Hindu epic, the Ramayana (meaning Rama's journey). This tells the story of Rama’s banishment, exile and eventual triumphant return to his claim his kingdom at Ayodhya. Dubar (platform) scenes on ramatankas always include the main characters of the Ramayana – Rama, his wife Sita, his half-brothers Lakshman, Baratha and Satrughra. The monkey god Hanuman, a loyal devotee of Rama is always there as well, giving devotion to Rama. Hanuman played a central role and provided invaluable assistance to Rama.
The obverse depicts the Dubar scene where Rama and Sita are enthroned in State with Hanuman kneeling beneath the platform in his role as a devotee. The Devanagari inscription along the top reads RAMA and SITA.

50008 Thunderers driver is about to surrender the token from Arley at Highley during the SVRs 50 years of the Class 50 gala.
Long since retired, CTA, like other transit agencies, minted its own tokens. This one was full fare, and about the size of a dime.
I think the name Hoyle on this token refers to Edmond Hoyle (1672- 1769) who was a writer best known for his works on the rules and play of card games. The phrase "According to Hoyle" came into the language as a reflection of his generally percieved authority on the subject.
For the most part my husband and I don't need these any more - we have a monthly parking permit for the train station. But every once in a blue moon we both need to take the train at different times, so it's good to have a couple of these around for those situations.
A love token on an 1891 seated liberty dime bearing the letter M which I recently purchased at auction.
Love tokens were popular in the United States from circa 1860 - 1910. An individual would smooth one side of a coin and engrave initials, words or symbols of personal significance. In the American tradition, the love token was given to a sweetheart as a token to be carried at all times.
A more detailed history of love tokens is available at the PCGS website:

A rare (sort of) US half cent dated 1828 with only 12 stars instead of 13. And a very rare merchant's overstrike. There was a famous South Carolina politician by the name of H. Klugh Purdy but I cannot make any connection between the merchant and the congressman.
