I took $200 in coins to the bank's coin counter. Stuff that was rejected by the machine, included a button battery, foreign coins and two G.S. Parkway tokens.
Kid behind the counter: "What are those?"
Me: "Parkway tokens."
Kid: "What are they for? The subway?"
I am then joined in by two women at the customer service desk and we begin talking about the tokens, searching for change at the toll booths, long lines of cars, waiting to pay the toll...
Hell, the kid probably wasn't even born when the parkway discontinued tokens in 2002.

I was thinking of giving the bank coin to the Maplewood Historical Society.
