DEMISE OF THE NEW YORK SUBWAY TOKEN

  As noted by Dick Johnson and others in previous
  E-Sylum issues, the classic New York City subway
  token is now a thing of the past.  Newsday had a nice
  article in the April 13th issue, the last day the tokens
  were sold. (They may still be used through May 4).

  "It's oftentimes been said that the token was the special
  coinage of New York,"  said Steve Zeitlin, director of the
  New York Center for Urban Folk Culture."
