Collectors covet coins from the Bank of England. That being said, you might be surprised to learn that they are not difficult to find.
In the United Kingdom, the Bank of England is the central bank. It is nicknamed the "Old Lady of Threadneedle Street. It was founded in 1694 as the banker and debt-manager of the government. One of the Bank's first responsibilities was to issue new coinage, which was and still is produced by the National Mint. The Bank was nationalized on March 1, 1946, and gained independence in 1997.
Those interested in the royal coinage can visit the Bank of England Museum. Here visitors will find a coin collection that includes coins issued in 1694. This was the first year that the Bank of England did business. Also found at the Bank of England Museum are coins from the 18th and 19th century. Both dollars and tokens can be seen here.
Older coins issued by the Bank of England are relatively easy to find on the internet. Coins with prices up to ₤160 for a Bank of England George III dollar, dated 1804 in excellent condition, can be found on internet auction sites. English coinage, as with all of their currency, has the face of the ruling King or Queen on the face. Coins are cited with the monarch's name. For instance, an "1861 Victorian half penny" has Queen Victoria's face on it.
The most common type of collectable Bank of England coin to be found is from the early 19th century. England was in a coinage crisis and, in 1804, the design on full-weight Spanish coins was completely erased. The coin design was replaced with a stamp that said, "Bank of England Five Shilling Dollars." Later in the same year, the Bank of England issued token silver coins for three shilling, one shilling and six pence denominations. These were minted from lighter-weight Spanish coins, as opposed to the full-bodied coins for the dollars. These coins, as well as counterfeits of them, are readily available from coin collectors, dealers and online.
In 1816, the Privy Council recommended the establishment of the gold standard in England, and the proposal is accepted, causing the production of a new, one-pound gold coin - the sovereign. The sovereign was produced until 1932, and is 91.7% gold. It generally sells for slightly above bullion price. Also minted were gold half-sovereigns. These were made in both two and five pound versions. In this case, pound refers to the name of the money used in England, and not how much the coin weighs. These coins were not sold as bullion coins, and are more scarce. Production of tokens stopped at this time and the tokens were removed from circulation by 1821.

Halfpenny (British PreDecimal Coin) $70.1 The British halfpenny coin was worth 1/480th of a pound sterling. At first in its 700 year history it was made from silver but as the value of the pound declined, the coin was made from base metals. It was finally abandoned in 1969 as part of the process of decimalising the British currency. A halfpenny, colloquially written hapenny. It was long considered that the first halfpenny coins were produced in the reign of King Edward I (12721307), with earlier requirements for small change being provided by cut coinage ; that is, pennies cut into halves or quarters, usually along the cross which formed a prominent part of the reverse of the coin. However, in recent years metal detectors have discovered a few halfpennies of Kings Henry I (11001135) and Henry III (12161272) these are extremely rare and very little is known about them; they have all been found in the London area, where they circulated alongside the more common cut coinage, and while it is possible that these coins were patterns or trials, it is clear that they did see circulation. No documentary evidence of these coins is known to exist, and it is possible that there are other coins or issues still to be discovered.

Token Ring $54.86 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Token ring local area network (LAN) technology is a local area network protocol which resides at the data link layer (DLL) of the OSI model. It uses a special threebyte frame called a token that travels around the ring. Token ring frames travel completely around the loop. Stations on a token ring LAN are logically organized in a ring topology with data being transmitted sequentially from one ring station to the next with a control token circulating around the ring controlling access. This token passing mechanism is shared by ARCNET, token bus, and FDDI, and has theoretical advantages over the stochastic CSMA/CD of Ethernet.

Token Money $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Token money is money made from tokens of some form, as opposed to account money. Coins are token money, as are paper notes. Token money has a strong privacy feature in that it works as money without the intervention of any other party in each transaction between two parties. Privacy makes money safe from interference by more powerful third parties. Where property rights are not strong, privacy is required to protect assets and permit trade, and token money works well in this regime. There are some interesting hybrid forms of token money. Chaumian blinded coins is a form of financial cryptography invented to achieve privacy and thus safety in money over in the Internet. In this form, a digital packet is a token that can be passed from hand to hand over a network. However, to defend against infinite copying, the coin should be rolled over at the server in an exchange for a fresh coin, so these forms of token money are at best a simulation of physical tokens, as they permit traffic analysis.

Token Bucket $68.51 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A token bucket is a common algorithm used to control the amount of data that is injected into a network, allowing for bursts of data to be sent. Although it has several uses, it is best understood in the context of network traffic shaping or rate limiting.Two predominant methods for shaping traffic exist: a leaky bucket implementation and a token bucket implementation. Sometimes they are mistakenly lumped together under the same name. Both these schemes have distinct properties and are used for distinct purposes. They differ principally in that the leaky bucket imposes a hard limit on the data transmission rate, whereas the token bucket allows a certain amount of burstiness while imposing a limit on the average data transmission rate.
