transit tokens
Bus ride coins
Transit tokens are coins or coin-like objects used as fare payment on public transportation—buses, subways, trolleys.
Before electronic fare cards, riders purchased tokens in advance and deposited them in fareboxes: I found a handful of old transit tokens in my grandfather's desk.
Now largely obsolete, replaced by smart cards and contactless payment, though some transit systems still accept them.
