Sainsbury's food tokens, that asylum seekers get to spend. You don't get change, there are restrictions on what you can spend them on and you couldn't exchange them for cash until the Jesuit Refugee Service got involved.
Westminster Quakers now aim to buy £200 of these vouchers (at face value) from asylum seekers each month, so that they are free to spend this money in other places than the supermarket and can get change.
I scrubbed out the numbers on these tokens.

At the Poldark Mine in Cornwall there was a machine that dispenses these tokens and they are based on Cornish pennies. You are supposed to use them in the machines but we liked one so much we ran off with it as a souvenir.
We went to the arcade yesterday but played only one game: basketball. We got so obsessed with beating the high score. Hahaha!

We call them tokens, or gestures: “what a lovely gesture, thank you for your token of kindness.”
These words are diminutive. That small gesture, that seemingly-insignificant token can be the world. The little things that we do to remind people that we care, that we are thinking of them, that their presence in our lives — in no matter what capacity it may be — makes our world a better place, those are things that resonate long after their immediate impact is felt.
That card that came in the mail is not just a pretty piece of stationery, but instead a reminder that someone is missing you, that without you nearby there is a small absence in their heart. That plant left on your desk is not just something to brighten up the office, but a way to show appreciation for the mentorship and guidance you have given someone, guidance that has helped them find a new path.
They are tokens, gestures; we may forget them quickly, but the feelings behind them linger long after that gesture or token has faded from memory.
The only state highway in the United States that cars aren't allowed to travel on. It follows the perimeter of the island the whole time, and you're always right on the shore. It was awesome.
Why is it when I go on holiday I have to take a picture of a cute kitten? Else it would become a superstition of my safe return if it continues!
