Hello,

Not a coin, but some sort of casino token. I suspect it's American, but dimensions would help confirm.

Which reminds me- please include weight, diameter and metal in ID requests!

The coin guru is happy to help!

Anyway, it's as I suspected; it's nearly the exact same size as an American nickel, so my guess is probably pretty close (it might be Canadian too).

Thank you for the links, this could be quite useful, but I didn't find my token there..

What letters do you see: CFN?

Thank you!

I see C on H on N so CHN perhaps. Though more like GHN now I look again.
Reading left to right anyway; could also be NGH or HNG and so on though.
Annoyingly I think I have seen that monogram before but cannot remember where.
Will keep looking ...

I think the monogram is GHD.

There is a coin-operated hair care machine sold by a GHD company:

Thank you so much, this has clarified a bit more and will allow to do futher research!

Do these tokens have any market value?
