Back in the mid-70s you could use telephone tokens as currency in Italy. I
still have some. I was a bit lira-ey of using them.

Not only in the 70s, but until the public phones were converted to use
only telephone cards (around 2000 I think). It was like currency, but
changed value over time: from 50 lire to 100 and finally 200, and when
there were rumors that this could happens, everybody was trying to collect
as many as possible!
