I was very surprised at how tiny TTC subway tokens are! I've already misplaced one.
Here is one (bottom) shown with a quarter and toonie for scale. The weird part is that the token is the most valuable coin there ($2.25 to purchase, but pays for a $2.75 fare).

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.
This is both sides of the same token but they were shot with my famous "I don't need no steenking tripod" technique so they aren't the same size. Slow learner, I guess.

Imagine if your boss started minting their own money. Now imagine if they started paying you with it. Now imagine if only certain shops accepted that money, whilst it was worthless everywhere else.
This sounds ludicrous, even criminal to us. But this was exactly the situation that many 19th century factory workers found themselves in.
This copper twopence coin is an example of this unofficial money. It is known as a provincial token and was produced by John Henrickson, the owner of Lemmonsly Mill, near Lichfield in the late 18th to early 19th century.
Provincial tokens were coins minted by private individuals during the late 18th century in response to a chronic lack of small denomination coins in Britain. This shortage was caused by the effective ceasing of penny production by the Royal Mint in the 1660s.
Facing a shortage of low denomination coins with which to pay their workers, mill owners such as Henrickson produced these provincial tokens. The workers could then use these tokens in lieu of official coinage with local merchants and traders. These traders could then return the tokens to Henrickson in exchange for larger denomination, official currency. In this case, 120 of these tokens could be exchanged with Henrickson for one pound.
The obverse of the coin features an image of Lemmonsly cotton mill. In exergue beneath the image is the value: "TWO-PENNY TOKEN". Surrounding the image is the legend: "JOHN HENRICKSON LEMMONSLY MILL NEAR LITCHFIELD".
The reverse of the coin features a shield bearing the coat of arms of the City of Lichfield, consisting of three decapitated soldiers lying before Lichfield Cathedral. A lion's head is located at the base of the shield, whilst two floral branches border the shield. Around the edge of the reverse is the legend: "ONE POUND NOTE FOR 120 TOKENS".

This is a 50-cent token used by Jesse M. Mitchell for his store in Elfers. This type of scrip was made by the Ingle company which was founded in 1908 and went out of business in 1918. Mitchell was the leading citizen of Elfers in the early days. He was a businessman, preacher, county commissioner, state senator, and the only mayor of Elfers. He is not related to the later Mitchell family. (7658)
Arriving at Medstead and Four Marks station, former British Railways class 9F locomotive, 92212 is about to exchange the token giving permission to porceed with its train towards Alton.
Former British Railways class 9F steam locomotive, number 92212 is seen arriving at Medstead, and the top of the stiff climb from Ropley, with service to Alton.
The British Railways Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 was designed for BR by Robert Riddles. The 9F’s were the last in a series of standardised locomotive classes designed for BR during the 1950s, and was intended for use on fast, heavy freight trains over long distances. It was one of the most powerful locomotive types ever constructed in Britain and successfully performed its intended duties.
At various times during the 1950s, the 9Fs worked passenger trains with great success, indicating the versatility of the design, considered to represent the ultimate in British steam development. Several variants were constructed for experimentation purposes in an effort to reduce costs and maintenance, although these met with varying degrees of success. The total number built was 251, production being shared between Swindon (53) and Crewe Works (198). The last of the class, 92220 Evening Star, was the final steam locomotive to be built by BR, in 1960. Withdrawals began in 1964, with the final locomotives removed from service in 1968. Several examples have survived into the preservation era in varying states of repair, including Evening Star.
The 9F was designed at both Derby and Brighton Works in 1951 to operate freight trains of up to 900 tons (914 tonnes) at 35 mph (56 km/h) with maximum fuel efficiency. The original proposal was for a boiler from the BR Standard Class 7 Britannia 4-6-2, adapting it to a 2-8-2 wheel arrangement, but Riddles eventually settled upon a 2-10-0 type because it had been successfully utilised on some of his previous Austerity locomotives; distributing the adhesive weight over five axles gave a maximum axle load of only 15 tons, 10 cwt. However, in order to clear the rear coupled wheels the grate had to be set higher, thus reducing firebox volume.
There were many problems associated with locomotives of such a long wheelbase, but these were solved by the design team through a series of compromises. The driving wheels were 5 feet 0 inches (1.5 m) in diameter, and the centre driving wheels were without flanges, whilst those on the second and fourth coupled wheels were reduced in depth. This enabled the locomotive to round curves of a radius as small as 400 feet (120 m). 92212 carries the Bath Green Park (82F) shed code where she was based for a short period in 1961. Whilst there she worked over the Somerset & Dorset hauling trains such as the ‘Pines Express’.

This is one of the walls at the Gallery showing most of the Love Tokens. Definitely was a great reception. These were blank thin wooden hearts, and about 20 different artists did whatever they
wanted to paint or collage or both to them. Even I did four, but I must admit it's not my "bag", and I didn't have fun doing them. Mine are the pathetic ones on the far right!
