Tokens

what are they for anyway?

I think thats why they call them "token", because they only represent coinage. It does seem like they should be worth more though, perhaps few collect them----------BigE

I collect civil war tokens.

I found a Canadian Token today and Cladking looked it up and says 1836 to 1838. I wondered how they are or were used.

A token represents something else. It can represent cash like most good-for tokens, tax tokens,
bank tokens etc. But there are also love tokens, religious tokens, fraternal tokens (some of which
are also good-fors), and perhaps telephone tokens. They can also represent work accomplished
and achievements like pickers tokens, baptism tokens, and the like. Medals are more to commem-
orate events, people or places.

ah, thanks for that.

Do a Civil War or Hard Times token search and you will learn what most collect here in relation to these tokens.
Historic and very interesting relics of the past.
