Odniesienia: W J Davis, The Nineteenth Century Token Coinage, 126-133.
Żeton domu pracy: Podobny w zakresie i celu do zwykłego żetonu, ale wydawany przez lokalnych nadzorców ubogich. Birmingham, Bradford, Halesowen, Keighley i Sheffield były jednymi z miast, w których wydawano żetony przytułków. Aby uniknąć trudności dla osób, które przyjęły żetony, te z Birmingham i Sheffield otrzymały sześcioletnie przedłużenie, gdy inne żetony zostały uznane za nielegalne w 1817 roku.

Workhouse Token: Similar in scope and purpose to the ordinary token, but issued by local overseers of the poor. Birmingham, Bradford, Halesowen, Keighley and Sheffield were among the towns where workhouse tokens were issued. In order to avoid hardship to people who had accepted the tokens, those of Birmingham and Sheffield were granted a six-year extension when other tokens were declared illegal in 1817.
