Never saw one of these before, found it on a thread that is a few months old. Cool stuff. Obviously this coinage was way outdated by the time this style coin door came around, and I suspect the ones he found were the "cover all bases for desired operation" extras that came with the game which makes a whole lot more sense since I am shocked anybody would use it.

Here's what I said on the matter:

Quoted from Otaku:

Don't mean to bump this thread, but I've never seen the 5c/1 play decal, and slightly less importantly nor the 2 plays or 5 plays for those other specific denominations.
PBR only reproduces the "2 nickels 1 play" label, and the 10 cent and 25 cents label but with less plays per coin. That 5 cents 1 play label must have been for early games that used that coin door for those rare operators who weren't up to the standards of the usual price cost per play (same for 25 cents for a whopping FIVE plays), similar to the 8 balls per play setting on some 60's add-a-ball machines that I wonder if anybody EVER used. I guess that is why I have never seen it before, I bet they were only very rarely used! Kind of wish you would have scanned it first!

Quoted from Otaku:

Actually, I am assuming those are the factory original extras provided with each game(?) hence the oddly-non-optimal coin designations.

Bump. Still fascinated by this.
