Didn’t notice that “unusual design until just now 😳

I chuckle every time I see that token and that it's for a tunnel makes it even funnier to me.

Wow such an innocent post things were a little testy on the forum and I hoped to lighten things up.

James,

If you are into token collecting JustBob has a fun thread over in the US, World and Ancient section entitled “Token Tuesday - Post Em If You Got Em”. Nothing wrong with doing it here either just making you aware of it.

I honestly got up this morning and thought it would be nice to lighten things up with something that would not be controversial?  I mean how can a simple token cause any problems?  I’m a dang newbie for sure 😳

I love it. I have started collecting some tokens myself. But debate is always around here or any public forum where opinions are given. Don’t let it bother you. People are good about shrugging things off even when they disagree, and there are some of the nicest and most knowledgeable people in numismatics you will ever meet on here floating around. I think you are picking up on who to just chuckle a little and move on vs who will help.

Heres one of mine. Where I live in Ky I've been working on getting a few from my home state. @Just Bob has helped inspire me to venture into the token side of the hobby. There are some very cool ones out there. This one is the same on both sides

I live up up in the mountains but here’s kinda my home town token

I worked in Colorado and traveled through the mountains. Some of the most beautiful country I've seen. Would love to go back someday.

James,

Like Hoghead said JustBob’s thread got me curious as well. I have started a side collection of coins, tokens, medals, etc, related to the state of Alabama, which is where I was born and raised. Tokens are something that it’s easy to get nostalgic about because you can find them from your area, and many times may even know someone who worked at the company that issued them. Great way to connect with local history. Here is a couple I just picked up in recent auctions. 
 

The first is a civil war trade token. Alabama was a single merchant state meaning there was only one known company that issued them during that time  

The others are early tokens from The Mobile Jockey Club in Mobile Alabama. Little is known about the club, and there are more than 40 iterations of tokens/medals associated with them. This is just a couple of my newest ones. 
 

Obviously these aren’t transportation, but showing how many options there are for token collection. Most of mine are just local tokens in 2x2s I pick up as I find them

That’s awful. Did you get any damage? My team laughs because Denver is a go to for team meetings for me. I love getting out in the mountains or running up to Yellowstone or grand Teton when I’m there. I can mix in work and pleasure when we meet there. 

[James Zyskowski]

No we were very fortunate. The two who died were old friends of the family and my doctor lost his home. We did evacuate but are here to tell the tale 

[Hoghead515]

So sorry for the loss of your friends. 

[Hinkle]

Thought I would share mine. Idk the history behind this, except its from my home state.

The first one is from the Gulf Coast.

The second is from Hattiesburg.

The last three are from Jackson.

Those are cool as heck. Never knew kids had to pay for rides to school. I took the short bus to school, ahahahah.

Finally found this one funny it’s what I was thinking about when I first started this thread

Had a moment there when I was afraid my coast to coast cousins were no longer here. I always enjoyed how similar they were!
