Stary żeton burdelowy, w którym słowo "CENT" zostało zmienione na "CUNT" Procedura polegała na zapłaceniu "madam" kwoty w gotówce i otrzymaniu żetonu. "Dziewczyna" (prostytutka) odbierała żetony od klienta, a pod koniec wieczoru zwracała je "madam". Żeton uniemożliwiał "dziewczynom" bezpośrednie posługiwanie się pieniędzmi. Ta moneta była używana jako żeton.

An old brothel token the word 'CENT' is modified into "CUNT" The procedure was to pay the 'madam' the amount of cash and receive a Token. The 'girl' (prostitute) would take the Tokens from the customer and at the end of the evening she would return the tokens to the 'madam'. The token prevented the 'girls' from handling money directly. This coin was used as the Token.
