Default Re: Phonecard payphones

When I went on holiday in Italy in the late 1970's, I found that telephone tokens (gettone telefonico, normally just called gettone) were treated just like coins in shops, being readily accepted and given out in change. They were not flat but had a stamped ridge corresponding to the coin slot in their public telephones.
