#subwaytokens

[lacheraqui]

Whenever I unearth #relics of my past, I sometimes wish they'd transport me to the moment they first came to me. These #NewYorkCity #TransitAuthority #subwaytokens were #goodforonefare...but they take me on more rides in my mind than they'd have taken me in real life. They were worth $.75 in 1977. Alas, they're worthless, now...except in my imagination. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByJYtfBJRTF/?igshid=3lrwaya0fe9q

Iconic design courtesy of the Objects book by @standardsmanual. Having lived near #nyc my whole life, this design is almost a talisman. There are many others objects from the MTA and related in the book, many of them with a sense of “I remember that…” #mta #irt #design #subwaytokens
