    Need Help with This Trade Token?

    I found this trade token at a local park here in San Diego and need help identifying it. It has a trolley on one side and says "Good for $2.00 dollars in trade" on the reverse side. It doesn't have a date but does have "HH" on both sides similar to the size of a mint mark marking. Any help would be appreciated, the coin is either brass or copper.

    What you have is a vending machine token with a standard, stock back from Hoffman & Hoffman dated 1980-1999. After 1999 the HH changed to HM for Hoffman Mint.

    Wow, you guys are fast! Thanks Eddie for the info. I was hoping it would be older but it was in such good shape I had my doubts. It's a cool token anyway.

    They started their business in 1980, but still cool find.
