Что-то мне всё никак не собраться поехать разблокировать свой старый проездной, посему я иногда покупаю в метро жетоны. Беру обычно по 3 или 7 штук.
И вот, однажды перед выходом на работу я смотрю по карманам, остались ли у меня жетоны или надо будет купить ещё. Нашёл один, достал, немного повертел в руказ и заметил что он какой-то странный - в СПб у жетонов буква "М" только с одной стороны, а там была с обеих. Оказалось это вовсе не Питерский жетон =)
Правда что его следует оставить на память я подумал уже только на работе, дома меня хватило тока на фотографию.
A medal from the 1960's made from copper taken from the USS Constellation, a US Navy Warship dating from 1797. Its now thought the ship was rebuilt in 1854 with very little material from the original. It was struck to help fund an early restoration. The US Navy funded another restoration in the 1990's and the ship is currently in Baltimore Harbor.

According to some in 1955 the city of Baltimore started promoting the second ship named Constellation as a rebuild of the original 1797 frigate. The city issued medals and sold them for $1 each to raise money to restore the ship and turn it into a museum. On the reverse of the Constellation medal it states “that was struck from parts of the first ship of the US Navy”.
The Baltimore City promotion caught the attention of historians and started a heated debate. In 1999 the controversy was pretty much put to rest when evidence uncovered during the restoration proved it was the ship launched in 1854 (not 1797). What the city of Baltimore has in their harbor was the 150+ year old sloop-of-war that was a completely new design and built new from the keel up.

A brass token, issued by Sheffield Workhouse in the early 19th Century.
Tokens such as these were issued during the early 1800s due to a national shortage of low denomination coins. This particular token was produced by Sheffield Workhouse and issued to its inmates. Inmates could then use these tokens in lieu of genuine currency in local shops. Local traders could then exchange the tokens for cash with the Workhouse authorities.
Although alleviating the problem of limited coinage, the tokens effectively trapped inmates into the workhouse system. Their tokens would be worthless outside of the local area and only valuable within shops that had a prior arrangement with the workhouse itself.
The token is heavily worn, with much of the token's original detailing now lost. However, on the token's obverse a picture of Sheffield Workhouse is visible. The remnants of a legend around the image is just visible, this legend would originally have read: "OVERSEERS OF THE POOR" followed by the date of the token's issue.
The reverse is heavily worn with only the vague outline of a figure visible. This figure would originally have been the figure of Justice, holding a set of scales and accompanied by the wording: "SHEFFIELD PENNY TOKEN".
This should be the only witch related photo I take in Salem. C'mon, they milk this thing to the stake.
Christmas was rather weird this year. We were back from Brazil on the Friday before the big day and on my return I was expecting a letter from the hospital detailing an operation I was supposed to have before the New Year, only the letter never arrived. So now I'm in limbo, lost in an administrative system - but on the other hand, I did manage to enjoy a rather nice festive season instead so no one is crying.
