Captain Catbert, get back out that Brownie Starmite II () and get us a partial shot of that edge inscription, I'd like to see it. If you think about it, it explains the reason businesses can mint these tokens; i.e., the owner is standing behind their commercial value, at his place of business. So, the customer comes in, purchases something, and the owner uses these, which he agrees to honor, as fractional currency, to make the change (at least, that's how I figger it )...

EDIT: BTW, I agree...enjoyable read!

Very interesting Catbert I have never checked out tokens, but after reading your post, as well as checking out your pic., I think I will have to check out the world of tokens.
