#tokentuesday — Public Fediverse posts

#TokenTuesday: This #NYTMCollection token, from the mid-late 1920s, was used to pay the fare for trolley shuttle service over the Williamsburg Bridge. This short route travelled between the trolley terminal at Delancey Street in Manhattan to Bridge Plaza in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

#TokenTuesday: The Five Boroughs Token debuted in 1995 and was the last token to be used in the #NYCsubway. A fare increase to $1.50 ushered in the new token which featured a pentagonal hole at the center to symbolize the five boroughs of #NYC.

I went to send a couple of transport tokens to a friend in the #USA today. With the current #tariffs, anything heading stateside needs to have a customs declaration with the right tariff code. The post office and I found some lists, but nothing on them close to #tokens. Does anyone happen to have a link or know what to put? Or is it just not worth trying to post to the US for now? The post office did say that they have had a large percentage of mail for the US returned currently because they weren't happy with the tariff code.

This is a gift for a friend, and has practically no value. I'd be very frustrated if I was trying to sell & post things as a business.

I didn't take a picture of the gift, but here are a couple of transport tokens from the blog:

Hi everyone! For those who follow me for numismatic information: good news! FediGroups have setup the @numismatics group, and you can follow it! I will try to ensure everything I post mentions it, and if you do as well, it will ensure I see it too :)

Thanks to @hello! And thanks to @FediThing who prompted me to explore further :)

Finally, for those who follow me NOT for numismatic news..... I am very curious - please reach out and let me know, as it is all I post! :)

EDIT: As I just remembered - you need to FOLLOW @numismatics before you can post to it.... and that applies to me to even though I requested the group :)

#Introduction Hi everyone, I'm a #collector. I enjoying collecting & learning about #coins, #exonumia (#tokens, #medallions, etc), & #banknotes. I've also got into #PNC & #PMC collecting lately (Postal Numismatic Covers & Postal Medallic Covers, like a first day cover stamp release envelope, but with a coin or medallion as well). I try to post photos & information about interesting pieces regularly, especially #MedalMonday, #TokenTuesday & #SaturdayNightCoinShow, but not only. I'm in #Australia
