Ice Machine Tokens
Many hotels have ice machines guest use, but some had problems with other people (not staying at the hotel) coming in and getting ice. The solution was to give guests tokens that the guests could use to get ice from the hotel machines. A few of the generic tokens are fairly common, but I have only recently found enough different types to start a listing of them. If you have any Ice tokens not listed here, or have any information about them, please let me know!
