    I have a bunch of original FunSpot NH tokens from when my Baby Pac-Man was out on their floor in the 80’s.
    In my arcade games I’ve been constantly getting Chuck E. Cheese tokens, some of them original “Pizza Time Theatre” tokens also from the early 80’s. My favorites are when I get custom ones from locations, like one from The Pinball Wizard arcade which I believe is closed now.

    Quoted from pinballinreno:

    When I restored my 1954 Vendo 44 Coke Machine I found quite a few coins under the compressor shelf.
    Regular coins in circulation at the time.
    The machine was in original condition from a closed down and abandoned Phillips 66 gas station somewhere along route 66.
    9 mercury dimes, 5 buffalo nickles and a couple wheat back pennies.
    The were all glued down in sugar syrup like flies in amber lol
    I had a great time doing that resto.

    It’s nuts how many coins get caught in that thing! I was redoing a CT-48 and there was probably 20 bucks in the thing in the drip tray and under the shelf and deep into the weird little channel they built in for the line cord.
    It’s a nice time machine for old coins though!

    Okay here’s a picture of my “interesting tokens” collection. The arcade I run is a token arcade so I usually just scoop any of the ones that catch my eye. There have been a lot of weird ones. I’m also surprised at how far they travel.

    The Jillian’s one has been a pain in my ass. There were probably a dozen of so unleashed on my arcade, and they’re made of some cheap shit, they’re extremely light, like aluminum, so they were jamming my mechs left and right!
    They’re so light they would just get stuck in the little scale, wouldn’t reject. In those little token flipper games, they’re also slightly larger than my tokens so they’d get 3/4 into the chute and jam the “catapult”.
    I’ve taken that thing apart at least 6 times. I’m fairly certain I’ve got them all now.

    Quoted from Murphdom:

    High hopes that they are the right size and weight...?

    All the others? Yes they all work, I have an entire separate collection of Chuck E Cheese tokens dating back to 1982 that keep showing up. By far the most common are super old Dave & Busters token and the CEC tokens. They’re same type of token as mine but I find it funny that people carry them around so long and decide “I’m gonna use these in this arcade”

    Quoted from barakandl:

    Found inside a Baywatch cabinet that was a reimport from Japan.[quoted image]

    I’ve got hundreds of those in all my Pachislo slots
