For security purposes, some farms will use proprietary tokens to pay for coffee cherry in remote drop-off stations that can be exchanged for cash in more central, secured locations.

Another macro shot consistent with this week's theme. These are the tokens for the Toronto transit system. They're small -- about the size of a dime (Canada or US). I like the design of these tokens. This "new" design was introduced in 2006 to make them harder to counterfeit.

Please be aware... I am no coin expert. Titles here are either what I was told when acquiring these or are from a simple Google search. I make no claim as to them being 100% accurate but I make an effort to be as factual as I am able when posting. There may well be some duplication of coin type or variety, but I try not to double post any single coins. My feeble brain may slip on that from time to time. These are all from my semi worthless collection of world coins from over the years. Little to no value exists in most (if not all) of them. They are just a hobby.
Taleen & Sarah, Burrito Babes Founders, met while taking social work classes at USC. After learning and growing together, they wanted to figure out a way to give back. Feeling very sensitive to the hunger issues of the world, they put their heads together and Burrito Babes was born. Through this community building organization, Taleen and Sarah hope to inspire people to build and sustain community, while giving all of their profits to hunger-based organizations.
Sarah Young & Taleen Askejian - Founders - Burrito Babes
Sarah: We are redefining the term, “babe”. We’re asking everyone to be a babe for themselves and a babe for the community and what that means is believing in yourself, believing you can create change, helping your neighbor, and helping your community, and hopefully create a movement of a bunch of different babes and bring them all together and say we are the individuals making a difference.
Taleen: Our dream is to have a restaurant in Santa Monica, one that’s more like a community center vibe, and share a good experience inside the restaurant as well as give back to the community. Customers get a heart shaped token with every purchase, and there will be three different organizations to vote on where our profits are going. There will always be a food-based hunger organization, a local-based LA organization and an international organization.
Sarah: The idea is that you would come in, and hopefully, these are big dreams, the restaurant can be divided into two different spaces. One that has long community tables, there are never any single tables cause we want people to be sitting together and when our servers bring the food and if they know somebody, we want them to talk to people by name, and introduce people to each other, and facilitate conversations so people can get to know one another. The other side would be couches, and more comfortable area; people can come and talk about volunteer activities, anything that brings people together. We will have a wall of games and books; we are providing almost a living room space for individuals, and burritos are the way that we are facilitating that.
Taleen: We met in class. Both our first years in a clinical practice class at USC. So Sarah, and I’ll go into detail (laughs), she was three seats ahead of me on the right. This class was sort of ridiculous in a lot of ways. It was early, the teacher was interesting… so, I didn’t know Sarah that well but whenever something happened that was funny, she would turn around to see if anyone else got it, and I would always get it, and just be like, "Yeah I know." (laughs)
We were also in a group project the whole semester. It all started then, and we took classes together every semester after that, and then last April we had the opportunity to learn more about the way these things worked, and went together to a student organized a field trip to Sacramento, and that was the weekend where we talked about the process of doing this sort of work. Then we talked about burritos; well we always talked about how we loved them. We had another class where we needed to work toward a final project that we could have in our back pocket when we graduated, one that we could move forward with if we decided to. Sarah told me, “I want to do this Burrito Babes thing, you in?” And I thought okay, we both think absolutely crazy, this is going to work! You really need another person that’s like, “Yeah let’s do this, for motivation and you need encouragement, so as we started working on this and two or three weeks after we started working on it we said, let’s do this, why not! There’s nothing to lose.
Sarah: It might take longer than we are going to expect, but this is going to happen, and people might look at us like “You’re a little nuts,” but that’s what you have to do, you have to believe in what you’re doing, and you need to have that to ask for money and support, and we believe in each other. We bring different views to the table and we want to make this happen. We are just trying to challenge the status quo. We really think we change things, and really get people to think more about a collective group rather than themselves. We say we bonded over burritos and social justice.
The back hall at the Token Lounge. Covered with bands stickers and spray paint/magic marker tags, it has always been a special place for me.
John Wentzel ran a store in Ottenheim around 1910. This token says, Good For $1.00 in Merchandise Only, on the reverse. If anyone has Ottenheim items they want to sell contact me.
There were more boys invited I think but only these three showed up! They were slightly outnumbered but when it came to tea they did quite well most of the girls sat at the other table!
As the Taff Vale Railway Class 02 lets off steam the Fireman makes his way to the Box at Damems Loop to swap tokens and wait for another train to arrive coming from the other direction.

These are the tokens Rasmus made. They look like game pieces because the cone-shaped piece is part of the casting process. They will be cut off, leaving the diamond-shaped tokens.
The fireman, clutching the single line token, scuttles down the steps of the signal box at Damems Loop on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway. He is about to climb aboard the footplate of Ivatt 2MT 2-6-2T 41241, which is heading the 1315 Keighley-Oxenhope service and blowing off steam with considerable enthusiasm. The Midland Railway-design box was originally at Frizinghall, Bradford.
Ever since the trip into the Rochester Subway I have hoped to find one of these little gems. The other day my wife said "Open your hand." then she dropped this little token into my palm. It's about the size of a dime and after cleaning it a bit and looking closer I noticed all the fine detail.

Back when I heard the TTC fare was going up, I stocked up on these and had nothing else to do with them except for waiting to use them & eventually getting bored and shooting them.
At first glance, this dime-sized brass disk looks much like one of the Civil War money substitutes. But the blank reverse was a puzzle until I stumbled upon this other medalion that indicates its true nature was that of a religious medal for soldiers. On the example above the lettering on the back has worn off.
“The OPA (Office of Price Administration”) ‘tokens’are of a sandwich-type fiber construction, consisting of a red orblue outer layers bonded to an uncolored (gray) core. They are round, 16.4 mm in diameter, 1.4 mm thick, and weigh about 4 grains. They are ‘points’ that were used in conjunction with, rather than in place of, money, when purchasing designated food items. Red ‘points’ were required to purchase animal foods, such as meats, butter, oleo, edible fats and oils, cheese, canned milk, and canned fish.

No claim is made of all being accurate, I do make an effort to be as factual as possible when posting. Some duplication of type or variety may occur. I try not to double post items. My feeble brain may slip on that from time to time. Very little actual value exists in most (if not all) of them.
Archduke Maximilian of Austria and his wife Princess Carlota of Belgium, appointed by Napoleon III, took the throne of Mexico as Emperor and Empress in 1864. The people of Mexico, rejecting the foreign rule, forced the French troops to pull out. Emperor Maximilian chose to stay, and on June 10th, 1867 he was executed. During his reign, coins were struck with his bust on the obverse, and the Mexico Coat of Arms on the reverse. This obverse is what was copied for the Maximilian tokens.
