Art1.2 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Interesting. I wonder what the skill was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Circus Posted September 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 I have seen either this style or close to it awarded for games of skill at the old time arcades, Skee-ball etc instead of paper tickets. Of course as the token wore out,lost removed the paper tickets and the dispensing mechs would have been cheaper than replacing the tokens. Although this one is in the transit style token and could be from the old style fruit,gum slot machines instead of nickles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Nice token. I recall using something similar when I did a project in Milan a number of years ago. I still have a few around somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art1.2 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I do recall the telephone tokens from Italy. We also had coffee machine tokens that had a crossed line down he middle and a cup of coffee on them. Have a few of those somewhere. Good coffee!!! We had a token like the first one that you displayed that we had to use to get into the parking garage of the IBM facility we were working at.

Circus Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 As I understand it, they use the security tokens since the same sized coins are worth a lot less than the cost of the call and some phones you can use the coins but it takes more of them.

Circus Posted September 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 They seem to have changed direction in the design of them after the late 60's I have a couple state and city tokens that are quite nice and have posted them before. It was a hanger on from the fifties and the atomic age I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
