Leeds City Tramways commenced selling celluloid tokens in October 1903 to employers[1]. This was said to enable employers to ensure that the fare money they gave workers were not being spent in shops. In May 1904 Leeds City Tramways announced that the general public could purchase the tokens and that telegraph boys and Tramway employees, who previously were provided with metal checks, would use the tokens[2]. The tokens were white pennies and blue halfpennies. They were being sold at the Boar Lane office with no discount for bulk purchase.
