I don't know if it's related but "jeton" is the Turkish word for those coins you use to board the ferry or pay the toll for anything. I think it's originally French.
Sadly, kept reading as "Jetsons". I suspect this mis-read is correlated with age of the reader. On the positive side, learned something new about something old from parent.
