What exactly are they?
Beer tokens that is? I see people offering beer tokens for help or parts or whatever but I have no idea what they actually are. Is it just a vague way
of saying money or are they something I have to go to Mark's and Spencer's for or what?

'beer tokens' is a used as slang terminology for money,
a few beer tokens is like a couple of quid say, or a fiva etc
ive always liked, 'parts for pittence', but i haven't heard that in ages

Yup. It's slang. Question is does it associated with a certain note denomination? Is "a couple of beer tokens" 2 fivers or is it 2*
the cost of a pint IE £4......

I've seen beer token used to mean a £2 coin.

i dont think it means a specific amount, or at least its never meant that to me. just a few quid like say a tenner or even a pack of beers to take
home.
if someone gave me a part that i knew was worth a bit if i sold it, id feel a bit sly only giving a couple of quid. just my opinion.

As others have said, a few beer tokens don't have a specific value. It could mean a few quid, ie enough for a pint of two, or it could mean a 6
pack. Depends on quite what part/service you're talking about. For example, if something can be posted easily, then it might be a fiver. An
evening's worth of welding help might be a quite nice bottle of wine or a half dozen bottles of ale.
