Robert Gilbert Numismatic Page Bob Gilbert's Numismatic Page Below you will find discussions on various topics in numismatics that interest me. Mostly these topics come under the area known as exonumia. I also list other important web sites I've found.
Telephone tokens are non-currency tokens issued specifically for use with public pay telephones.
Telephone tokens have a history that goes back to the begining of the 1900's. I have written a short article on the subject of telephone tokens entitled An Introduction To Telephone Tokens - With A Flavor Of Canada . This will give you an introduction into this area of numismatics I have been collecting telephone tokens since 1990. There are relatively few collectors of telephone tokens and only a few who consider this their main collecting area. Most of these are minor varieties to those already listed.
