    as per the title, need help knowing what american coin went into the coin mech as per the attachment.

    the game is a gottlieb just 21 from 1950.

    have checked all the coins from australia from that era...so what american coin fits this?

    doing a ground up resto and wanting to keep it on coin op play

    Probably a nickel, what’s the diameter? Grab a roll of 1950 nickels off eBay for extra coolness.

    Measure the diameter then google coin sizes.
