hamilton tokenotes

First introduced in 1988, Hamilton Tokenote®
Paper Tokens can turn your Hamilton change/token machine of
AutoCashier into an effective marketing tool for your business. It's
easy to see why so many industries are turning to Tokenotes® as an
alternative to currency. Tokenotes® are the same size as a dollar bill
and are accepted just like paper currency.
Hamilton bill acceptors can recognize up to 15 different Tokenote®
codes with 5 different values. Over 100,000 different codes are
available. Tokenotes® can also be used over and over. Those numbers
add up to phenomenal marketing and advertising opportunities from a
simple piece of paper.

Tokenotes® can only be used with Hamilton validators.

The Carwash Industry

In the competitive car wash industry, attracting customers is always a challenge.
Hamilton Tokenote® accepting Autocashier (ACW) is the perfect enticement and
retention tool. Our ACW accepts up to 15 coded Tokenotes® with up to five different
dollar values. That translates into hundreds of possible combinations, and valuable
marketing potential.

Our Tokenotes® can be imprinted with features ranging from "spot free," to "under
carriage wash," to "open 24 hours."

As of Spring 2002, car wash operators will be able to program their Gold Line Autocashier
to accept Tokenote® Coupons for a specified wash. For example, an operator can make
a Tokenote® worth $1.00 off the highest priced wash, 75 cents off wash #2, 50 cents
off wash #3, and 25 cents off wash #4.

This is achieved by programming the "coupon discounts" for the specified Tokenote®
value.

* Tokenotes® may be valued from $.25 to $30.00 or from 1 to 150 tokens dispensed.
