Here are some sites didn't really fit into the other catagories. Plus, some
sites only loosely related to tokens, but I thought might be of interest to some
token collectors.
- Barak page; The
modern medieval trade token of the SCA. Descriptions and images of many of
the Baraks made to date. Last I checked, the list was a couple years out of
date, there are a number of newer designs not listed.
- Shire Post is making
a series "coins" struck in limited quantities from handmade dies.
They started with a bunch of Tolkein-inspired designs, but ran into some copyright
issues. Currently (12/03) they have a couple of semi-Tokein coins, a Klingon
coin, and some other issues. Neat stuff, and reasonably priced.
- Grunal Moneta
make medieval-style hammered "coins" from handmade dies. Sells some
"standard" coins, and also makes custom dies.
- Play Money
Lots of scans of various types of play money, by Richard and Wendy Clothier.
Page takes a while to load, and would benefit from some information about
the items, but worth checking out! Richard has written a 52-page listing of
play money "Play Money of American Children" which I strongly recommend to
anyone interested in play money (page scans are available on the web page).
- Token Dies - Neil
McElroy has some pages with images of a bunch of really nice tokens dies.
He is searching for examples of the tokens made with the dies.
- Numismatic Dimensions,
scans and info on both coins and tokens. Focus on items with holes, also some
good info on African items. Not a whole lot of tokens, but has some interesting
modern items I haven't seen anywhere else. Worth a look!
- Telephone directory
allows you to "reverse search", that is, find a business name if you know
the phone number. This is really useful for identifying tokens that list a
phone number but not an address!
- Directory
of Amusement device suppliers
- Report about the arcade
industry, RePlay Magazine, May 1998
- The Liberty Dollar (was Norfed)
wants to repeal the Federal Reserve Act and return to currency backed by precious
metals. They are issueing currency and a $10 coin (token?) which are backed
by silver. [Note that some aspects of this are a classic pyramid scheme.]
- Dan's virtual coin collection. Has
some token scans in "US" section, also a few more scattered in foreign listings.
- Magicians tokens
-tokens that picture Houdini.
- NY Subway tokens
and general information about the New York Subway system.
- Chequers Casino chip/token page
- lots of info!
- Chip Connection, casino
tokens and other gambling-related collectibles.
