Day fifty-two/365. Tonight, as the pastor, I conducted the funeral service of a friend. The funeral home was packed with his family, friends, and people to whom he'd reached out. He had been a mentor to many, in a variety of capacities. I've led many funeral services. It's different when it's a friend. A fifty-four-year-old friend whose heart failed unexpectedly.
The Scripture passages were easy to select and the words of the sermon flowed effortlessly. My only difficulty was in narrowing down my comments. His family brought tokens. The lunch box, the rocks, and other objects each represented a story and a piece of a relationship. How powerful symbols can be!
The Far North Line is mostly single-track which necessitates the use of a token system to allow the drivers to move to the next section. These signs have a blue light which flashes for a while once the train passes it with the token.
The driver of the 0929 Leeds-York via Harrogate service surrenders the single line token to the Poppleton signaller. The stock of the train comprises a pair of Derby-built two-car Class 144 'Pacer' DMUs, 144 009 (leading) and 144 014.
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.
Compare this piece to the brass piece in the album. The Frank side dies are slightly different (look at CAL. in relation to FRANCISCO). I am not sure where NCS got the Good For 12.5C from as this is a store card. I am not sure where they got the 1860 as the catalogs say 1867-1870.

Token from the Sydney Monorail. The reverse side had a few Aussie Icons, which included The Sydney Harbour Bridge, a Frill Neck Lizard & a Koala, but not all on the same token.
A communion token is a metal token issued to members of Presbyterian churches in order to provide them entrance to the Lord's Supper. There were many types issued in Scotland in the 18th and 19th centuries, but they were largely superseded by communion cards. These particular tokens were issued by St Andrew's Church in Rodney Street , Liverpool , and are dated 1824 , the year the church opened .
The diesel driver and the Cyfronydd Blockman exchange the tokens that regulate the passage trains. To prevent more than one train being in a block section he Welshpool and Llanfair LIght Railway use the Staff & Ticket System.

Just off to the right is where a new footbridge is being built . . . . should be a good vantage point for photography when its finished.
Found this today as we were cleaning up the grave of Constable Adam Begg, our 'adopted', young, long dead Scottish policeman who was killed on duty here in Auckland, 1926. It reads " J.S. Robinson (1929) Ltd., 270 Bishopsgate, London".
A quick search on the net brings very little and nothing about this business. Any help out there? I'm too busy transcribing headstones to look into this also!
Wouldn't that be amazing if it was sent from London attached to something to place on his grave so many years ago! (NB: see update at end)

We have many tokens in the numismatics collection at the museum where I work. Most actually look representative of a penny size or smaller and made of different materials also, so I must have a dig around some time to see if there are more unusual ones like this.

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.
