Of course, the numismatic value of an old NYC fifteen-cent token is undoubtedly far greater than any the value of a bus fare but I'm just curious.

Do the Muni Metro faregates accept tokens directly? I hadn't realized
that.
In any case, I expect the only way to find out is to try it.
Of course, most tokens are probably accepted on buses, and for that
there is visual inspection.
Although I suppose tokens are reusable (and thus less environmentally
damaging as well as less expensive in the long term for the transit
agency), tickets fit more easily into my wallet...

In that vein, will Muni take LACMTA discount tokens? Will LACMTA take Muni tokens?

I think they might have been selling them for 50c the last time I visited the museum shop. But the panels displaying all the different tokens are better souvenirs. -- Peter T.
