BriceTax tokens, bus tokens.
Here in Washington, eons ago, tokens were issued for payment of sales tax. Not sure why.
Tokens in the coal? Never heard of that, though I do remember coal delivery. Where was that done?

With contact points and condenser, no electronics required. Keep a spare set in the glove box and never pay $900 for an engine-control computer.

...but they can channel-surf by a ton of other Black sitcoms that are equally, or more demeaning to Blacks, but for some reason today's Blacks think the characters make them look cool.

JiriTommyII:
Ten years ago, I spent some money for swiss compass. Friend told me: "For this money, you can have very good GPS device". After 10 years, compass works the same way as new, no batteries etc., but there is maybe 5th generation of GPS since that time.
But I have to admit that taking out compass when lost in London city catches some attention from bystanders. It also catches attention from customs at airports. It is derived from military one and there is also inclinometer and table for recalculating degrees to artillery units. Last time I had about 20 minutes talking to customs why I need that compass in the age of GPS ;-)
Also I got training of using sextant for navigation. You can use 50 years old one (if in good condition) or brand new one.
Almost nobody knows, how to use sextant now (with all that calculations and nautical almanac)

I hope millenials will never see a communism in Europe, barbed wire fences on borders, solders with assault rifles there etc.
