In numismatics, farm tokens are collectible pieces that were once used as substitutes for real money in some rural areas. These tokens were usually issued by the owners of farms or estates, and had a nominal value that could be exchanged for goods or services in the area where they were issued.

Farm tokens are typically unique in shape and design, and often contain information such as the name of the farm owner, the date of issue, and the face value. Although these tokens were not official currency, their use was common in certain rural areas where access to real currency was limited.

Nowadays, farm tokens are collector's items for numismatists and collectors in general. The rarity, age and design of farm tokens can affect their value on the numismatic market.
