About Costa Rica Tokens
This site is dedicated to the documentation of coffee tokens used throughout Costa Rica . Authors in Costa Rica and abroad have taken the time to document tokens in a small scale. Documentation was in the form of pictures or just textual descriptions. From these books and pamphlets we learn to appreciate and expand our knowledge of the hobby called exonumia, the collecting of tokens. The hobby has grown so much that Costa Rican tokens are now being sold and traded almost daily throughout the world. There are auction houses in the United States selling Costa Rican tokens and these tokens are even being sold on eBay . There is a coin show in San Jose , Costa Rica once a month where registered members display their items for sale; a large part of that includes tokens. We welcome you to the hobby as well as to our site. Please help us spread the word around about Costa Rican tokens. You can see some of the tokens here , but for a complete collection of tokens, please purchase our book .
