Hi all, I have wondered if some particular military NCO tokens with specific indication of location should be listed under the issuing country (mostly US) or under the country the base is/was located in. My argument for moving them to the issuing country is that these tokens only circulated on base, and their collector base are mostly by their issuing country. Thank you for your input and have a nice day

I agree with you. Even in the references by Paul Cunningham Number 1 and Number 2. Tokens are separated by the countries they were used in.

We record them in the country in which they circulated.

The argument about how they are collected is valid though. Once we have in the future a proper database of issuing entities, we'll make sure we have a way to have all US military tokens easily searchable.
