I've been collecting coins for a long time, gold, silver, old coins from Chihuahua Mexico, and some paper money.
About three years ago I bought a bag of foreign coins and inside I found some elongated tokens. This first one was from the Texas State Aquarium and has a sea turtle on it.
The second one is from Universal Studios and has "Optimus Prime" from the Transformers.
The third one is from Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch and has a Kudu Antelope imprinted.
Most elongated tokens are pressed cents from machines at the attraction you are visiting. They had some machines at NASA when we were there this summer, but I forgot to press some cents.
I might try and find some elongated tokens that are pressed on foreign coins, maybe Euros.
Happy coin collecting!

What a cool piece. My son bought me a new silver coin for Christmas. He bought one each with things that he knew were our interests. Nice gift!
