When you give someone a flower or a friendship bracelet or something symbolic of the way you feel about them, you're giving them a token of your affection.

A token is not only something sentimental (like a keepsake) or symbolic (like your friendship bracelet). You, yourself, can also be a token: If you're the only female in your office, for instance, and you were hired just so there'd be at least one woman, then you're the "token female." Tokens can also be a kind of special currency, like the coins you use in slot machines. Before the Metro Card, New York City subway riders paid their fares with tokens.

All forms of 'token' will appear on average once every 401 pages.
