Links to Token Organizations (information is correct to the best of my knowledge, but dues etc. are subject to change. Please let me know if you spot any errors)

• AVA The American Vecturist Association (transportation tokens). The AVA publishes the Atwood catalog of US transportation tokens, which is a must-have for anyone interested in these tokens. Joining the AVA is a great way to make trading contacts, and not just for transportation tokens. Dues: $20 in USA, $25 in Canada, $30 in the rest of the world.
• NTCA The National Token Collectors Association (was NATCA) web page, focuses on trade tokens, but also covers other tokens. A good way to meet collectors of all types of tokens. NATCA dues are $30/year (more outside USA). "Talkin' Tokens" is published monthly.
• TAMS the Token and Medal Society. Probably focuses on older and trade tokens. This web page is new, but you can print a membership form and order books (TAMS publishes several books on tokens). TAMS dues are $25/year ($30 outside USA). The TAMS Maverick database is in the process of being put on the web! Still in process, but a lot of tokens are listed.
