Gecko Valued Member Australia 278 Posts	Posted 10/11/2011 10:09 am I found an old tin with some more coins in it. I was happy to find some tokens, they were something different to add to my random album. First was a Copper coin with Time Zone on one side and No Cash Value , on the other. Second was a Copper coin with N5P token vale in a ring around it three times, and on the other side a ring of vending only three times and a wreath around it. Third was a really light coin with SHELL on top of the shell oil company shell shape and the other side is a plane with LOUIS BLERIOT 1909 on it. and lastly was a beauty a heavy silver colour coin with Sydney Harbour Bridge 1932 with the bridge on it and the other is TNT DARLING HARBOUR MONORAIL 1988. I know these kinds of posts are annoying without pictures I will try and add some as soon as my computer reads my camera again... I doubt if they are worth anything but just wanted to share them with you. Report this Post to the Staff

I think they've switched to some kind of card-based system, rather than still using the tokens. "N5P" sounds like a British token from the period 1970-1982: 5 new pence. Used for poker/slot machine type games, probably. The Shell Oil medallion would have been a petrol station giveaway, dating from the 1960s or 1970s. "Buy $10 worth of petrol and get a free coin - collect the whole set", that sort of thing. The Sydney Monorail issued many different designs of tokens in the first few years of its operation, with different reverses. At one stage they were even selling sets of tokens, one of each type, in a commemorative folder. They're all tokens you'd typically find in a dealer's "scratchtray". Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
