Above: Various transit tokens in the collection from Toronto. Tokens were first introduced in conjunction with the opening of Toronto's first subway on March 30, 1954 (far left)
and were minted by the Royal Canadian Mint. The three limited edition brass tokens were minted to commemorate the extension of the east-west Bloor-Danforth subway line
(now known as Line 2) into Scarborough and Etobicoke in May of 1968. An aluminum token based off the first brass token was introduced in 1975 and along with the older aluminum
ones, were the mainstay for the system until November of 2006, when the modern bi-metal tokens (far right) were introduced to help reduce counterfeiting and to replace adult fare
paper tickets. This was the last design used by the TTC as they stopped selling tokens at subway stations on December 1, 2019  in favour of the Presto digital fare media. Third party
retailers continued to sell tokens until March of 2023. On Juse 1, 2025, the TTC officially stopped accepting tokens as fare media, fully converting over to the Presto digital system
