What does JETTON mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A small counter or token, often of metal, used in reckoning, in games or as a coin substitute.
A jetton is a coin-like disc, usually of brass or other metal, that was once laid out on a counting board to do sums and later served as a gaming chip or a token for machines. Many were stamped with pictures or mottoes and were struck in France and Germany, and collectors now seek them out. The word comes from a French verb meaning to throw, because the discs were thrown or cast down on the board during calculation.
