Old Bridge Tokens
Mount Hope
Bridge token
This token was found by my wife and it's about the size of a dime, she
was searching the parking lot of some old bath houses that were closed down
in the 1960's. Tokens are always fun to find, as they are so different.
Its like finding a foreign coin!
She
found some wheaties and other coins from the 1970's. The Mount
Hope Bridge is located in Bristol, RI and the tokens are not in use
anymore.

NY Bridge Token
We
didn't even know NY had tokens for their bridges at one time. The front
of this token has a list of the bridges and the back says, Triborough Bridge
and Tunnel Authority.
Too bad it doesn't have a date on it. My wife found it and thought it
was a piece of bent copper. That's why it's good to check the trash you
pick up. It was probably hit by a lawnmower.
