Jeton definition: Jetons were a token or coin-like medal produced across Europe during the 16th and 17th centuries. They were produced for the purpose of acting as a money substitute in games, similar to modern casino chips or poker chips. Thousands of different jetons exist, mostly of religious and educational designs, as well as portraits, these most resembling coinage Yet another thing I learned today on the forum! Mike
