Clearance chipboard tokens - these are the old, old original tokens I used to make, one step up from starting out which was laminated paper cut out with scissors

I'm selling them as remainders for 20 cents per token because I want to get rid of them, but throwing them away is unthinkable

Question for the fedi people - would people be interested in cheap chipboard ? Like 35c per token?

These are old prototypes of mine that I was going to sell as remainders, but it occurred to me that people might be interested in super-cheap tokens with nice art as an ongoing thing

I'm not late for , it turns out time is an illusion (Lunchtime doubly so). Since I've started whimsical, I'll go with the fun piece I just wrote up - an Imitation Spade Guinea "In memory of the good old days". You should definitely read:https://coinofnote.com/imitation-spade-guinea-good-old-days-uk/ - it talks of I can't afford, imitations of which there are many, garden implements & late 1800s ! Enjoy :)
