<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ian, post: 46268, member: 283&quot;]It isn&#039;t a coin, but it IS a token.</p><p><br /></p><p>Just as you will find that the use of arcade tokens are limited to specific arcades, the use of these trade tokens&nbsp; tended to be limited to the area for whic they were manufactured.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was little chance of a Dundee token being accepted as payment for goods issued in Edinburgh or Glasgow...or indeed anywhere else.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why? Getting them exchanged into `real&#039; money would be too much hassle given that the promissory lived in Dundee and didn&#039;t have a national presence.</p><p><br /></p><p>The concept of it being used as `money&#039; in England wopuld have been out of the question.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, from that context, sorry ....not a `coin&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>None the less, it is indeed a very nice coin-like&nbsp; item and relatively scarce ( but I would grade it VF).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
