<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 24667317, member: 101855&quot;]I have a vague memory of these turnpike tokens, and remember buying a roll of them at some point. Still the design shown in the photos did not stimulate my memory. </p><p><br /></p><p>At one time these roads had toll booths in the middle of the highway. You had to stop every few miles and “spit” quarters. If you bought these tokens, you got a little discount. It made sense if you traveled the road regularly. I used them when I drove from Massachusetts to Delaware to see my parents. </p><p><br /></p><p>The trouble with this system was that it caused more than a few rear end collisions. People just drove mindlessly and didn’t make the stops in time. They could also cause backups if the traffic was heavy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
