In
English a reckoning counter. Also Jeton (French) & Rechen-pfenning
(German). A coin-like object used in the calculation of accounts. Most
commonly made of copper or brass; but also silver (especially 17th century
and after: very rarely gold. Lead jettons are also known but their purpose
is obscure as they would wear out fast. Jettons are known from England,
France, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary,
Italy, Portugal, Spain & probably other countries. Originally "jettons"
would have been pebbles or pieces of pottery (the word calculate derives
from Calx - pebble). The first specially struck jettons seem to be mid
