arthrene Pillar of the Community United States 1713 Posts	Posted 10/28/2007 8:24 pm I really like this coin but unfortunately, I don't have a clue what it is, where it's from, the year on it or the KM#. Any help would be appreciated! Edited by arthrene 10/28/2007 9:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Instead of accepting traditional coins, customers had to purchase these tokens to make calls on public phones. A common nuisance when using these tokens was that calls would abruptly end with no warning once the token ran out, forcing users to guess the amount of time they had left or repeat the call! Tokens feature a beautiful deer logo and Hebrew writing of the Israel phone company. Edited by GO 10/28/2007 8:35 pm Report this Post to the Staff
