• Token Coin: a piece of metal or other composition used as a substitute for currency; includes subway tokens.
• Tokenism: the inclusion of a single person (or very few people) of a group so an organization can publicly claim to be inclusive.
• Token Character: a supporting character in a story who has no real relevance to the plot but is included to conform to expected standards, such as featuring ethnic minorities in a cast of a predominantly other ethnicity.
• Type-Token Distinction:in philosophy, computational linguistics, and information retrieval, a token is an instance of a type.
