Token with relatively moving components and separator assembly thereof

Abstract

A token having a body member with an opening therein and is configured to translate across a support surface. The token includes a sensing object movable within the opening as the body member moves across the support surface. The sensing object can be freely mounted for rotation, or pivotally mounted within the opening. The token can be formed of a plastic resin and metal sensing objects can be attached to the token. The sensing object mounted in the opening can further have detectable configurations such as openings and embedded metal to increase the characteristics that can be remotely sensed. A separator assembly having appropriate detectors or sensors can produce characteristic signals of the token which can be compared with pre-stored values to determine the authenticity of the token.
