Rather worn out by the time I had reached this part of the field.
So I was more looking to finding somewhere to sit, than stand and take many pictures.
Next year I will have to look at hiring a mobility scooter.

I cannot describe this gaming token any better than a poster called Kuhli on the Coin Community Family website in 2006:
"While they were used as game counter pieces and may have seen some circulation as tokens, these were also a political token.When Queen Anne died in 1714, she did not have an heir to the throne. So a search through the family tree was made to find the closest suitable heir to the throne. This turned out to be George Louis great grandson of James I and King of Hanover, a German state. He became George I of England but retained his title to Hanover as well as did his successors George II, III, IV, and William IV. Salic Law did not permit a woman to be an heir to titles in Hanover when Princess Victoria succeeded to the British Throne in 1837 on the death of William IV. These titles, which had been held by kings of the United Kingdom since George I, therefore passed to the next male heir, Ernest Augustus, Duke of Cumberland.
"He was unpopular in England and it was said that the scars on his face had been caused by his Corsican servant in self-defence, before the Duke murdered him. The Duke is believed to have committed other crimes and, to add to his unpopularity, he was opposed to Parliamentary reform and the emancipation of the Roman Catholics in this country.
"Worst of all he had shown himself to be greedy for the British throne and to have opposed the succession of the people's beloved Victoria.
"To express public pleasure at the Duke's departure, these TO HANOVER tokens were struck at various times over the next twenty years as a satirical gesture and for use as card players’ counters or gaming tokens. The mounted figure on the reverse is the crowned Duke, who in most versions is shown with the face of a monkey."

"For the first five years after the bombing, a simple chain link fence surrounded the Murrah Building site, and from the earliest hours of the rescue and recovery operations, visitors posted messages and personal items on the fence. It became such a tradition to “visit the fence” in Oklahoma City that sections of the original fence were incorporated in the permanent Memorial, and guests still leave their convention nametags or hastily scrawled notes of hope there."

As far as I know none of these are used anymore. I was trying to remember the last time I was on the NYC subway, it was when we went to visit the Twin Towers in the mid 70's. I have been in Long Island Sound and on the East River in my sister and brother-in-laws boat a few times since but not in actual downtown. They are a nice place to visit but don't want to live there. I generally keep my distance from downtown big city America, I like the peaceful quiet of the woodlands and forests. I have collected these over the years myself, from friends, and I found a few in an ashtray of a used car I bought.
