Meaning of Token
A document or sign of the existence of a fact. Tokens are either public or general, or privy tokens. They are either true or false. When a token is false, and indicates a general intent to defraud, and is used for that purpose, it will render the offender guilty of the crime of cheating (12 Johns. [N. Y.] 292) ; but if it is mere privy token, as, counterfeiting a letter in another man’s name, in order to cheat but one individual, it would not be indictable (9 Wend. [N. Y.] 182; 1 Dall. [Pa.] 47; 2 Const. [S. C] 139; 2 Va. Cas. 65; 4 Hawks [N. C] 348; 6 Mass. 72; 12 Johns. [N. Y.] 293; 2 Dev. [N. C] 199; 1 Rich. [S. C] 244). , In Common Law. In England, this name is given to pieces of metal, made in the shape of money, passing among private persons by consent at a certain value. 2 Chit Com. Law, 182.
