We keep finding restroom tokens in the coin counters and I think the last time I saw a stall that took them was over thirty year ago. Has any one seen one lately.

I remember seeing some in Europe pretty recently, but if I remember correctly they were operating by normal coins not tokens. I don't know about the English one though, slide under that one, LOL
