The last time I rode it, absinthe was involved and my memory is a bit foggy. I believe this token is Atwood-Coffee LA670O but I do not have that reference book.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Honolulu RTA 1951 bus token. TC-17900 ; Atwood-Coffee HI Honolulu 240 E ; Medcalf 2TT-7 These are very available on ebay. Perhaps too available. But for $3 I couldn't pass up a beautiful Hula Girl!

I knew I had a few transportation tokens tucked away from an accumulation of coins I'd bought 25 or 30 years ago. Here they are... Arkansas Valley R.L.&P. Co., Pueblo. Good for one fare.  Pueblo Transit Company. Good for one fare.  Glendale City Lines, Inc. Good for one fare.  Seattle Transit, Evro M. Bechet CHM. Good for one fare.  Pacific Electric Railway Co. One token fare.  Los Angeles Transit Lines. Good for one fare.

Came across this one today, a New Hampshire toll road token. You'll also see these with the a letter "A" or "B" cut out. My understanding is that the their use was phased out at the end of 2005. This particular specimen has acquired a lovely dark patina.  See: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/ex...ia48366.html
