Many coin collectors and numismatists are also interested in #exonumia such as #tokens. Ancient tokens are called "Tesserae". The Numismatic Society of Diest have published a four part series on these pieces, and made it freely available.

I went to send a couple of transport tokens to a friend in the #USA today. With the current #tariffs, anything heading stateside needs to have a customs declaration with the right tariff code. The post office and I found some lists, but nothing on them close to #tokens. Does anyone happen to have a link or know what to put? Or is it just not worth trying to post to the US for now? The post office did say that they have had a large percentage of mail for the US returned currently because they weren't happy with the tariff code.

This is a gift for a friend, and has practically no value. I'd be very frustrated if I was trying to sell & post things as a business.

I didn't take a picture of the gift, but here are a couple of transport tokens from the blog:

It may not be a coin, but they did do a 50 pence coin version in 2019. It's my favorite medal.

Do you know anyone who is a #collector? #coins, #banknotes, #tokens, #medals, #exonumia, #PNC (Postal Numismatic Covers) etc? I like to post #numismatic pieces I find interesting and would love to see yours! If you do post your collection & are looking for a home here, hobbies.social is a small instance for hobbyists like us! I'm sure there are more of us here & would appreciate boosts for reach! Thank you!

#Introduction Hi everyone, I'm a #collector. I enjoying collecting & learning about #coins, #exonumia (#tokens, #medallions, etc), & #banknotes. I've also got into #PNC & #PMC collecting lately (Postal Numismatic Covers & Postal Medallic Covers, like a first day cover stamp release envelope, but with a coin or medallion as well). I try to post photos & information about interesting pieces regularly, especially #MedalMonday, #TokenTuesday & #SaturdayNightCoinShow, but not only. I'm in #Australia
Can anyone please recommend a Mastodon server aimed at #numismatics, #coin 🪙, #token, #banknote 💵, #medallion 🎖️, #exonumia, #stamp, #philately or other #hobby #collectors? Currently on the general Mastodon.Social but would love to join an instance specifically with other like minded folk :)
Reminder to anyone coming from Twitter and interested in #numismatics, #coins, etc, you can follow those hashtags as you can users! Please let me know other relevant hashtags to follow - #coin, #token, #tokens all seem to be drowned by the cryptocurrency crowd. #medal / #medallion gets some and some unrelated, and #exonumia, #banknote / #banknotes aren't too popular yet (let's make them!)
