Re: Soviet Metro Kaganovich Badge 1st construction Period
This is a bit off topic, but when they switched to green plastic tokens and particularly in the 1990s, the rumor on the street (or below it) was that because of the crazed fear of counterfeit - well, everything - and the fact that with rampant inflation they were often used as "currency" - the government had irradiated the "real" tokens and guys had to be a bit careful about carrying them around in their front trouser pockets. Of course it was all rubbish, but it was a good urban myth for a while.
