TOKENS

In the early days of Carbon County many of the merchants, bar owners and coal camp stores used tokens for their customers to make their purchases. The following photos are pictures of some of the tokens that were used. We believe that many of these tokens are hidden away in trunks and treasure chests of the descendants of the early settlers. If you have tokens from Carbon County that are not pictured here will you please scan them and send a copy of the photo to Kathy Hamaker. The pictures here are not the correct sizes of the tokens. (The sizes have been reduced to save on server space.) If you would like a larger photo of the token please contact Kathy Hamaker.

Special thanks is given to Rodney Jackson and Bruce Dugger for donating pictures of their tokens and supplying needed information. This page would not be possible without their help.
