Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteWe have one of this too.
Haha, can't remember how we got it.
Thanks a lot for sharing, Dickson :)
Dear whycollect,
ReplyDeleteAny other telephone tokens with different mint marks ?
Hi Dickson,
ReplyDeleteGuess this is the only one we have.
At one time, we collected quite a number of tokens but seldom encounter this type of telephone tokens.
Haha, we still have problems putting them up in our blog due to lack of information.
Anyway, we hope to gather enough info to put up some old tokens from Australia soon.
Honestly we like these tokens of yours but seem like they aren't commonly available locally.
Hmmm...maybe because most of the telephones were replaced by those using phonecards from Telecom and Uniphone in the past.
And even these cards and telephones have now become obsolete.
Arg, as far as collectibles are concern, collecting these phonecards was our biggest mistake.
Interest in these cards has gone down to virtually zero.
That same amount of resources spent would have got us many beautiful coins and banknotes, haha.
Well, like the saying goes, to err is human.
Thanks a lot for sharing, Dickson :)
HAI GETTONI DEL TELEFONO? SONO INTERESSATO
