MISSING DOTS: WHY?

  Jose Luis Rubio, Telephone Token student and President
  of the International Telephone Token Association writes:
  "I would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows why
  there is no period after the last abbreviation-letter of some
  Telephone Tokens, like the Italian "S.E.T",  the South
  African "H.P.K" or most of the French products coined at
  the Paris Mint House, that bear the classic abbreviation
  "P.T.T"  as at the classic 1937 token made in huge quantities,
  and several phone-tokens made there for the French Colonies,
  which also lack of the period after the last letter.

  I strongly suspect that this period was not "forgotten" by
  coincidence, but omitted for some special telephone cue...
  My email address is:   rubiojl at adinet.com.uy.  Thank you."
