token
Arcade machine currency
A token is a small object or an idea that in either case symbolically represents something else.
Physical tokens may be used like money, to give you access to something.
A gift of flowers may be a token of love.
Token has many uses in computing, some having to do with authenticating the way computers communicate with each other.
The adjective token is often used disparagingly, suggesting that something is done of the sake of appearance: It was a meaningless token gesture.
