Stuff that was rejected by the machine, included a battery, a couple of foreign coins and two Garden State Parkway tokens.

--- the coins were my Mom's and 'nuff said.

The kid at the bank. "What are those for/ The subway?"

I then had a conversation with two older women behind their desks about Parkway tokens. Long lines on weekends to get to the toll booth to drop tokens in. Fishing for change to pay for the toll before the tokens came into use.

The kid was probably not even born when they were discontinued. 2002.
