mysterious_dr_x Valued Member Canada 284 Posts	Posted 12/28/2016 4:09 pm Hello everyone Not sure if this is the proper space to publish this, but apparently, Winnipeg will replace their tickets with tokens for public transportation. As a collector of transportation, this fills me with joy as it goes against the trends of cities switching to electronic payment or tickets instead of tokens http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manit...ns-1.3747033 In other news, as I'm not going to be around Winnipeg any time soon, if someone has access to those tokens, I'd love to trade them for other transportation tokens, or canadian coins or whatever else tickles your fancy. Just drop me a pm :) * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * A word of Warning/Notice: Here is a reminder of the Buy/Sell/Trade/Want List Rules Report this Post to the Staff

A nice opportunity for token collectors, I wonder how many will disappear into the hands of collectors... 250k does not seem like a lot for circulation. Report this Post to the Staff
