The token gets dressed up to do the town. The NYC subway system has come a long way in fare payment since 1904, when a ticket was bought for 5? and exchanged for a ride at the turnstile. Issued on November 12, 1995, this token had a mintage of 60 million. The final token, called the "five borough token" because of the pentagonal hole in the center, was introduced at a cost of $1.50. This token will be phased out over the next several years as Metro Cards become the standard fare media. Get yours now while they are still around. Token Cufflinks are 3/4" in diameter.
