     @cinnamon @amberage oh yeah, I feel like they're not giving away as many of them lately (plastic bad I guess) but back in the 00s every family car would have at least four of these tokens scattered around in the glove box or at the bottom of cupholders

     @cinnamon @codl what about these plastic or metal non-currency coins you get as an advertisement gift everywhere that fit into shopping carts as a collateral instead of a buck? Are those a thing in Canada, and what of the US?

     @codl it's a thing in canada! they're everywhere. not as common in the us though iirc, i'm guessing because dollar coins are more rare than bills there
