What is a MARTA token and why is illegal to see them?

I assume by "see" you meant "sell".MARTA is Atlanta's transit system.Most big city transit systems use tokens to get through the turnstyles to get to your train.

I think I read that it's illegal to sell them there because of concerns about fraud.

No "see" is correct. You must close your eyes when purchasing them. You may only carry them in your right hip pocket. If you don't have a right hip pocket, you must get a Marta chaperone to walk you (you will be in leg irons) to deposit your token. You are also not allowed to hear about MARTA tokens. Writing about them is a Class D fel... (excuse me, I am being led away from my terminal.)
