Default Coach Token

I went detecting today at late 1800's school. Found the usual hand full of wheaties and then i got a solid 36 on my xterra50 at 7-8 inches and out popped a token and i cant find any information on it anywhere. I was just wondering if anyone could find anything about it? I do not have a pic right now but i will have one later. The token is a tiny bit smaller than a dime and has a square hole in the middle. On one side it says " Good Only Within City Limits" on the other side it says "Brunswick Ga Ga City Coaches Inc." I live in Brunswick Ga so this is a interesting find and any help would be appreciated..

Yup I would say bus token of some kind. The description sounds a bit like the city bus tokens we have here in Saint Paul Minnesota. Our tokens also have the square hole in the middle if I remember correctly.
