The bathrooms at the Stack's in Menlo Park are in a publicly accessible part of the building, so they use tokens to keep homeless people from sleeping in them.
Cattal signal box - Token for the single line to Knaresborough, 18th May 2017. This section is now worked by Tokenless Block and so the need for a physical token is no longer a requirement.
A 1s/- token with 'WM. Lees Smithfield Market Birmingham' on. Not sure of it's age, however Smithfield Market is long gone demolished in the 1960/70s, now the location of the newer outdoor Bullring markets or thereabouts. This was found in a collection of other random coins/tokens of my grandmothers in West Bromwich, however I'd love more information on this, what it was used for, who is WM Lees, how old it actually might be?
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.
The Central Wales Line operates on a token system, so Llandrindod box is largely redundant nowadays.

The seldom seen (certainly from a passenger service) Great Rocks signal box. The box controls access to the single line to Buxton and works to Peak Forest on the other side. Seen from the East Lancs Firebrand on Friday 30th September 2016.
The token for the single line from Buxton (just surrendered by the driver of the rail-tour) can be seen in the possession of the signalman.
After driving all day in the pouring rain (and driving snow) from Fort Madison, Iowa to Fremont, Nebraska to get out of the crap weather, I was rewarded with a grubby Union Pacific GE in DPU mode in drop-under sunset light. Well worth the time, eh?
At the amusement fair you often get tokens in plastic to prove you are allowed on an attraction. We make can make them in all colors and shapes!
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
CANDIANO
SUPER
FOOD STAMP CREDIT
1¢
IN ELIGIBLE FOODS
Date: Circa 1970s
Source Type: Token
Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Plasco Company
Postmark: Not Applicable
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: Albeno and Margaret E. Candiano was the owner of Candiano Super Market located at 701 West Chicago Avenue in East Chicago, Lake County, Indiana.
In March 1968, Candiano Super Market was "disqualified from participation in the Food Stamp Program for 60 days" in an action taken by the United States Department of Agriculture. The disqualification was based on Candiano's violation of "program regulations by accepting food coupons in exchange for ineligible items." Regulations excluded the purchase of non-food items and certain imported goods with food stamps.
Beginning in the 1930s, the federal government issued coupons to families and individuals whose income level was below a certain threshold. The purpose of the coupons was to assist in the purchase of food. Today, SNAP cards are issued by the federal government for the same purpose.
During the 1970s, the lowest denomination of federally issued "food stamps" was one dollar and federal law prohibited the exchange of food stamps for money. Hence, to solve the issue of providing change to customers, companies issued credit tokens in lieu of money. These tokens could then be used to purchase "eligible food" items.
The federal law changed in January 1979 and retailers were allowed to provide change to customers as long as the coins amounted to less than one dollar. This new law essentially eliminated the use of food stamp credit tokens in the United States.

"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."

Homeward
by Rand
Rest at ease my love
For I sail the breeze home
To thee.
Fetch the preacher and set
Fire on dry wood, have blown
To me.
Best please God above
For I sail the breeze home
To thee.
Fetch the tailor and set
Lace on white goods have sewn
To thee.
Rest at ease my love
For I shall seize home.
Not to be buried at
sea...
Not to be buried at
sea...
Not to be buried at
sea...
I sail home to thee.
