Do tokens count as a country?

From what I have read in the Numista forums, tokens do not count towards a country in "YOUR COLLECTION". However when I experimentally add a token in Spitsbergen, my country count increases by one. Why is this?

Because we're speaking about the "token" country. Spitzbergen counts as a country. Some other tokens count as part of their own country, as circulating.

It depends.

If a token is listed under * Tokens * then I think the answer is no, (due to a recent change). If the token is listed under the county, then yes it adds to your country count.

For example: This token is in Country * Tokens *

This token is in a country:

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces43124.html

And if you add it to your collection, it will add to your country account.
