pendrak Valued Member United States 253 Posts	Posted 07/30/2020 4:08 pm Hi Guys- I usually post on the ancient's part of this forum, but I am in the process going through some of my accumulations and have a brothel token that belonged to my grandfather. There is family provenance to at least the early 1970s. This is a very reproduced token so I am curious as to if it is actually a genuine used item. Thank you for your reply- 1 ½ inches and about 12 grams. Report this Post to the Staff

Circus Pillar of the Community United States 3079 Posts	Posted 07/30/2020 8:24 pm The only brothel tokens are for food or drink like the saloon tokens. There was never any for other delights in such establishments. There are currently 999.9 rounds that are sold as souvenir from the legal currently operating brothels, in Nevada. The cost is from $60.00 and up, again they are souvenirs only and good for in trade services. You can find them on the web, last time I posted a dealer in such. It wasn't appreciated.
