New York, NY

This image displays the New York City "Five Boroughs" subway token, the last design used in the NYC transit system. This token was introduced in 1995 when the fare increased to $1.50 and was accepted at turnstiles until 2003, when the MetroCard system fully took over. It features a pentagonal center, symbolizing New York's five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. The token was made from a specific combination of slightly magnetic metals to prevent counterfeiting, a problem with earlier token designs.
