Miscellaneous Exonumia
The first two (Jack & Charlie's 21 Club / Cavanagh's Restaurant) are "spinner coins" -
designed to settle disputes among diners as to who would be picking up the check!
The Gasmat token had a six-digit serial number on it and was good for a dollar's worth
of gas or oil at a Gasmat service station.
The British coin comes from the "Bailiwick of Jersey" and features Queen Elizabeth II on
the obverse with a sailing ship on the reverse.
The last two are souvenir gift shop coins from the White House in Washington DC and from
St. Mark's in Venice, Italy.
