Asian Merchant/Game Token, 010-8887 8206

Found in a "take a penny, leave a penny" tray. I left a nickel behind and picked up this odd token. It seems Korean but I do not recognize any characters or writing. The token has a phone number, some alien looking dude giving the peace sign, and a bunch of fingers in that V sign.

As great as the internet is finding where this token originated from is almost impossible. I found a Chinese company that makes these types of token for about $1.00 each. Then the telephone number on the token itself comes up in a Korean directory.

The reason for placing the number on a token is more obvious. In most Asian countries the number 8 is thought be lucky and multiple eights brings joy and wealth to a business. People especially in Chinese communities bid on telephone or post office boxes with multiple eights.

Here are the stats for this token...
