Israel – a pair of telephone tokens, one original and the other fake, 1950s
The telephone token was a means of payment that was customary for the use of a public telephone. The token is a currency that does not pass to the trader, and its price is updated from time to time. Dip the token into a suitable slot on the phone to make a call from the device.
In Israel, the use of tokens began in 1953.
