[QUOTE="GeorgeM, post: 1933691, member: 28550"]Here's a link to "Is that a Spintria in your pocket, or are you happy to see me?" [url]http://www.scribd.com/doc/51228927/Spintriae[/url] Brass checks are mentioned in passing; from the footnotes: "Bartholomew Lee (Lee 1983, 143) records the use of brothel tokens in 19th-centuryAmerica being, for example, ‘commonly issued in Denver for $1 or six for $5’. He does not say by whom they were issued, but notes their utility in keeping track of services provided by individual women, and as being more secure than cash kept on premises"[/QUOTE]
