begging tokens

Hi,

Is it possible to get rid of begging tokens once you have accumulated them?

Thanks!

No. You can mitigate them by scoring higher or furnishing Writing Chamber (negates up to 7 penalty points).

Unless you're intentionally taking beggars to gain an edge on subsequent rounds, it's likely not the most optimal play.

I usually take 1-3 in the early game to set up a growth, big sowing action or establish 2-3 valuable breeding pairs that'll gain me more points in the long run than the 3-9 points I lost early on.
