Hasbro is having a contest to see which of the famous Monopoly pieces will be sent into retirement so new tokens can come to the game. www.hasbro.com/monopoly/en_US/?s_kwcid=TC|1028199|monopoly%20pieces||S|p|20175924625
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.

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!
Token from the Sydney Monorail. The reverse side had a few Aussie Icons, which included The Sydney Harbour Bridge, a Frill Neck Lizard & a Koala, but not all on the same token.
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 Branch Line Society along with TransPennine Express, ran the 'Class 170 Farewell Tracker' from Manchester Airport to Cleethorpes using a trio of Class 170/3 units, 170307, 170306 and 170303, which took in a number of loops and sidings along the way and a visit to Buxton. seen here picking up the token for the single track section to Buxton, along the freight only line past the Tunstead Quarry complex,
The tour would soon come back this way enroute to Sheffield and onwards to Cleethorpes.
After nearly 10 years working for TransPennine having come from South West Trains all nine of these units will be very soon moving on to Chiltern Railways.
Closeup of the new token on the British version of the game. No $ or pound symbols are used on the money or deeds! Just an M with a slash!

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

In response to a huge train of supplies sent by the USA to France...
"A French veteran and railroad worker named Andre Picard stated a movement to send surplus WWI era boxcars to the US filled with tokens of appreciation from the people of France to the people of America. In all, 49 boxcars would be sent -- each packed with mementos from French citizens of every age and class.
From:
www.themetrains.com/merci-train-main.htm
Each state would receive a boxcar. One would be split between Washington, DC and the territory of Hawaii. The boxcars were of an especially appropriate type -- known as the 40 et 8 -- 'suitable' for 40 men or 8 horses. These small boxcars had transported thousands of American GIs during the wars; each cramped, bumpy ride leaving a lasting impression on the passengers. Each boxcars was decorated with a painted 'Gratitude Train' ribbon and with 40 coat-of-arms representing the provinces of France.
The French boxcars arrived in New York Harbor aboard the ship Magellan in February 1949.
The ship was met by waves of aircraft and a flotilla of boats. With 'Merci, America' painted across its hull, it was docked and unloaded. New York's boxcar was paraded though Manhattan. The other boxcars were loaded onto flatcars (their wide wheel axles not compatible with our track width) and sent off to the far reaches of the nation.
Each state had a reception waiting for their boxcar. Several states sent their boxcars on tours of the state so everyone could see the car and its contents. They came to rest permanently in municipal parks, railroad museums, fairgrounds and Veterans Posts. Most survive to this day".
This car is unusual/unique? in having the brakemans cabin on the end.
Nagahama temple, nearest to us, gives visitors rice crackers and bananas as a thank you for visiting on the day of the 88 state O'Daishi Mairi (great teacher pilgrimage). We only went to ten or so of the temples/shrines.
Today we took part in part of the the 88 stage pilgrimage in Aio which takes the pilgrim around the major temples and a larger number of small Jizo and Kannon Bodhisattva shrines in the fishing village of Aio and neighbouring hamlets. It started in 1783 making it the second oldest such pilgrimage after the 9th century pilgrimage in Shikoku, made famous by the esoteric Buddhist Kūkai (lit "empty sea" also known as Koubo Daishi - great teacher of the wide law), upon which it is based. For this reason the pilgrimage around Aio is called "O'Daishi Mairi", which means literally greater teacher's pilgrimage. Vistors to the temples and Buddhist receive stamps (inkan, seal pressings) as they would also do at Shinto shrines except when visiting Buddhist temples one takes a pressing oneself onto a piece of paper with 88 squares (or onto ones clothing or even body at other such pilgrimage sites), whereas at Shinto shrines one receives a small piece of paper, card or wood onto which as been pressed the seal of the god, as the representation of a household shrine (kamidana) deity, or protective amulet (omamori) which functions as a scapegoat (migawari) collecting the bad luck and impurity that would otherwise collect upon its owner. Perhaps the very act of collecting stamps, which Japanese do to this day when they take part in tourist stamp rallies, encourages the participant to supplicate, and look at ones hands. In the Christian Eucharist practitioners are encourage to look at their hands as they accept the sacrament, or even as they eat their daily bread. Christians accept bread. Japanese accept symbols. Visitors to the Buddhist temples are also given a small dish of rice crackers, soft rice nougat (uirou), a banana, some tea or coffee, so there is no shortage of edible refreshment, but it is not sacred. Some visitors chant the name of a Buddha. Most put their hands together, give a small (often token) monetary offering, and express their thanks. Some of the temples have a very pleasant, magical mystical vibe. The waiting at the temples on the pilgrimage are so extremely friendly. Sometimes old ladies beat a Buddhist wooden drum. This may be to encourage, or accompany visitors as they chant.
The psychological effect of taking part in the pilgrimage are many. The various communities of fishermen, farmers, furniture makers and foresters are encourage to recognise their unity, as part of the pilgrimage. Pilgrims find out about beautiful temples that they would not otherwise of known about. One pilgrim on the original Shikoku route spoke of being able, subsequently, to see his own back. I feel that having seen the stages on a map, visiting each in turn encourages me to imagine the route from a bird's, or god's, eye view looking down from above. With all the praying (almost everyone puts their hands together in front of them when they pray), and stamp collecting one is encouraged to look at ones hands, and stamps, an act which parallels that of seeing the pilgrimage from above in ones imagination. And according to the pilgrim lore, one is also encouraged to think that the great teacher, Odaishi, another self sacrificing scapegoat, is making the pilgrimage with you. This in turn calls to mind the Mc Dermott-Rochat hypothesis.

I received this token for their slot machine when I ate there last spring, but the slot machine was broken, so I couldn't spend it. Perhaps another time. :)
