Toll road tokens

[bugo]

Does anybody collect turnpike tokens? I collect coins, so it's only natural that I got into collecting tokens. I just started collecting them, and so far I have the Delaware Turnpike token, the Connecticut Turnpike token. and the Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike token.  I'm sure I'll add to the collection in the future.

I have never seen an ISTHA (or ISTHC) token, nor heard of their existence.  I have never heard nor seen of any for the Chicago Skyway either.

Port Authority Trans-Hudson
New Hampshire Public Works and Highways
Westchester County Transportation Token

Some of these may be bus tokens instead of toll road tokens. I'm not sure.

I'm sure I have a bunch of Garden State Parkway tokens around here somewhere.

The Mackinac Bridge Authority sells its tokens in little collector display cases now. They have several different designs, all available for order.

I have some of these.  They were cheaper than the full fare, at least when the fare went up to 35¢. 

How about paper toll scrip/coupons/etc.?  I remember one of the authorities (PANYNJ, NYSTA, TBTA) advertised "commuter books" to save time.

I have a couple of MTA Bridges and Tunnels tokens.

They are kept with my collection of train and bus cards/passes/tokens.

I have some NH Tokens in a drawer somewhere from about 10 years ago, emblazoned with the Old Man of the Mountain.  I used to buy them all the time (sold by the roll), as they represented a pretty nice discount - just as EZPass does now.

When they were initially introduced, the later Connecticut Turnpike tokens could be used in the New York City subway.  Until the NYCTA figured out what was happening and adjusted their turnstiles to the proper tolerances.  After that, the Connecticut tokens would get stuck in the turnstile slot when you inserted them.
