Originally Monopoly was called "The Landlord's Game". Many web sites (including Hasbro's) state that early Monopoly games didn't include tokens. While Charles Darrow didn't include tokens in his sets, Parker Brothers has from the beginning. The first Parker set had six metal tokens: iron, cannon, thimble, ship, shoe, and top hat.
