    Hi all,
    I found this token on the street here in NYC..
    Another FOG - Found On Ground

    I had no idea what it could be. Thought it was a telephone token that have the fancy slots.
    Looking in Numista I found it is from Sweden
    https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces71071.html
    And further investigation shows it's a token used in Golf Ranges.. Anyone want to elaborate a bit more?

    I don't actually believe that your token is from Sweden. It is more likely from NYC, just where you found it. It is a token that you put into a Ball Machine to get balls out at a Driving Range.

    That's exactly what this is. Probably cost some guy 10 bucks to get that token.

    Range Servant is a Swedish company. But I agree, that piece was probably not in use there. ;)

    Besides the cent and dime, I had know idea what this thing was... And I don't play golf. I found it in a coinstar ejection chute. Google is my friend and this popped up. Thanks @paddyman98!
