Using tokens rather than quarters or cash to activate start cycles or extend-time at car washes can help eliminate theft and vandalism, especially in unattended areas where these problems are most prevalent. Often the repairs required to replace faceplates and coin mechanisms when thieves break into coin boxes far exceed the value of the cash loss.

Recognition Tokens

Whether on a personal or professional level, everyone wants to be praised for a job well done.  There are multiple studies showing that people value praise more than (or as much as) a monetary reward. And to motivate children, nothing beats something bright and shiny that looks like money.

Employers use recognition tokens to motivate employees, dentists and orthodontists use them to reward patients for good check-ups, and teachers use tokens to positively reinforce good behavior at school.

The Produce Perks program, which launched in May, makes local fruits and vegetables more accessible throughout Hamilton County. In partnership with The Ohio State University Extension Office, Produce Perks encourages low-income shoppers to choose fresh, healthful foods by matching Ohio Direction Card (an electronic benefits transfer card that replaced food stamps) expenditures dollar-for-dollar. At eight pioneering farmers’ markets, customers can swipe their card (up to $10 per day) to receive double that value in tokens for produce purchases in the market.
