DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/18/2013 01:37 am I think it's from Denmark, a token to use in a machine--perhaps an automat? Maybe someone can provide a better translation. Report this Post to the Staff
Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 12/18/2013 04:50 am "Spillemaerke" is the Danish equivalent of the German word "Spielmarke": game token, or play money. 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

Roughly..more or less. However, I wouldn't say that "Mark" in German is the same as "mÃ¦rke" in Danish or "merke" in Norwegian. As long as we're splitting hairs, I would say "token" or "badge" is the closest English approximation. The addition of "indlÃ¸ses ikke" ie 'no redemption' narrows the context further.
