Comment

First introduced in 1967, these pre-purchased tokens cover a round trip. B tokens (valued at 25¢) were issued to employees, C (50¢) to commercial vehicles, D (50¢) to residents of Paradise Island, and ones with a palm tree ($2.00) to the public/tourists. This second issue was produced without the bridge name and location to make the tokens less attractive as souvenirs.
