Dietel made his own design for tokens to be given as a coat locators and a proof of the coat ownership as well. Each one had a number and a corresponding message on the back. Messages were written to cheer up people standing in line to pick up their coats. Each one had a puzzle and the numeric answer was placed on the other side of the token, which also indicated the order by which the proper coat was to be found. The tokens were color-coded for children and adults, with different levels of difficulty set accordingly. They were ceramic, with a wooden rim for an outline. They were very beautiful and they fit nicely in the hand. They often were disappearing because of their beauty, and Dietel noticed that the coats started to pile, as some people chose not to pick them up, and just keep the token. It did not bother him, as it was giving him more opportunities to create more tokens, develop better and more creative designs, and improve his kiln and firing skills. Soon, he opened a used coat store. That put an end to his being at the bottom of the payroll.
