Discontinued NYC Bridge Token, New York City Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (Marine, Henry Hudson, Cross Bay) 630-BC

Up for sale here is a great piece of exonumia history - a token once used on several New York City bridges beginning in 1982. New York City has since discontinued the use of this token, transitioning to the EasyPass in use today.

This token was used to cross three different bridges within New York CIty (as listed on one side):

- "Marine" (Marine Parkway–Gil Hodges Memorial Bridge) - connects Brooklyn and the Rockaways in Queens
- "Henry Hudson" (Henry Hudson Bridge) - connects the Bronx and Manhattan
- "Cross Bay" (Cross Bay Veterans Memorial Bridge) - connects Broad Channel to the Rockaways

According to Wikipedia: "MTA Bridges and Tunnels, legally known as the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, is an affiliate agency of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, that operates seven intrastate toll bridges and two tunnels in New York City. In terms of traffic volume, it is the largest bridge and tunnel toll agency in the United States serving more than a million people each day and generating more than $900 million in toll revenue annually.
