This is a Kansas State Tax token. Kansas issued these to pay for payment of sales tax. A token was valued at on mill, or one tenth of one of 1 cent (ten for a penny). I do not remember when they were discontinued but sometime in the early 40's when aluminum was necessary for the war.
Evidently Dad or my uncle used a token to repair the Tractor.

Originally posted to Guess Where London group. Tokens in the pavement are reproductions (made by John Aldus) of items left by poor mothers with their babies when they were put into care in the Foundling Hospital. The mothers hoped that the tokens would enable them to identify their children, should their circumstances change and they be able to claim them again. Few were ever able.
This is the reverse of a halfpenny token made of aluminium. The legend reads: PURCHASING VALUE AT BARTROP'S around 1/2D. Dia. 25mm. W. 1.5g. Bartrop's was an ironmongery business trading from various locations in and around Swindon, Wiltshire from the mid Victorian period through to c.1955, if my research is right. The address on the obverse of the token can be tied down to c.1908 when an advertisement for the business appears on the front cover of a booklet issued that year. This particular token, however, would appear to be a modern copy issued by Jeffery's of Melksham, coin dealers.

The New York City Transit Authority first introduced the "Bullseye" tokens on January 1, 1986 when the fare was raised to $1. The metal disc in he centre was to prevent the use of slugs by fare evaders, although that didn't stop the token suckers.
The tokens were used through two more fare increases - $1.15 in 1990 and $1.25 in 1992.
In December 1988 a special commemorative token was issued for the opening of a new subway line in Queens. the Instead of "GOOD FOR ONE FARE" it said "ARCHER AV EXTENSION 12-88".

I had viewed a friends photo many years ago that I absolutely adored. So every time I come across a Pine cone it reminds me of him and need to capture it!

These tokens were given to everyone who came to witness Atlantis being turned over from NASA to the Delaware North Companies who run the Kennedy Space Center visitor place. While it was put in a very cheap case, the token seems to not be cheap. Admission to the event certainly was great enough to pay for something better than a cheap arcade token. I'm no expert in the quality of these items, though, so I can't tell how not-cheap it might be. No matter, though; I'm keeping it.
