This same thread has appeared on RGP a couple of times a year for as long as I can remember.

I will let you guess how many quarters/dollars this was (wasn't a pin, but oh well)

Half a box of .22 shells in my TZ.

A stowaway child

Birdseed in the cash box of a Mr and Ms Pac Man I resurrected for a customer. I don't mean just a little bit of birdseed. The cash box was almost half full! The owner said "I wonder how that got in there?"
Also, found pink fiberglass insulation around the pop bumpers. The mice had a real swank pad built in there.

Are those mice?

Or is it a sheep?

Is exchange not possible anymore in Belgium? In Germany it's no problem to convert old D-Mark into Euro. Some banks still exchange the old currency. You could even make a fortune by changing single Pfennige into single cents.

Some small change I'd keep out of nostalgia, but 125$ ain't that bad. that's alot of belgian chocolate and beer - yumm.....

Seriously - what is that?

Found a multimeter in my Joker Poker, battery still good.

Not that it was out of the ordinary, but I found what appeared to be a handmade flipper board in a Gottlieb System 3 game. Strangest thing I have ever seen. Looked nothing like what should have been in there, but it did function correctly.

Back in the day I used to do route work on the same route my Dad worked full time for. Used to find his tools fairly often in the bottom of games.

One of the summers that I worked for a big distributor I found about 500 Putt-Putt tokens in the bottom of a video game. Took those back to college with me and me and my roommate made many trips to Putt-Putt to "return" them.

Many, MANY mouse nests in the bottom of old jukeboxes that we'd shop.

The most interesting stuff was usually found in the bottom of coin-op pool tables when you'd pull the slate to re-cover them. One of my coworkers found a gun once. Was really often you'd find needles and drug paraphernalia. We got service calls from time to time to remove a slate and recover someone's wallet or car keys because someone got mad at them and shoved it down there.

Had service calls several times to remove a stuck kid's arm from a crane machine.

Had one service call on a Galaga that my boss VERY reluctantly put at the taxi driver lounge at the airport in CLT back in the day. They had NO games and called every few weeks begging him to put something there. It had only been there right at a week and the boss had planned on checking it every 2-3 weeks. And of course when they called that it wouldn't take money only a week after dropping it off he was livid that he had to send someone out there soon soon.

I get there and find it won't take money because IT'S FULL. Boss was quite happy to add a few machines and check them MUCH more regularly! He even bought a brand new Taxi pinball for them, as I recall. It did well, as you could expect. But I guess I digress...

Just how much money was in it that it was so full that it would not take any more money? Is the coin box in an arcade the same as that of a pin?

There was a thread on pinside where a guy found a big bag of crystal meth.

This one was found on location:

Not a pin but I found a valid $25.00 slot token behind a power supply in a slot I picked up. Was for a casino in Atlantic City. I ened up going nearby for work a few weeks later and redeemed it.

This was a Galaga mini, but I'd say the coin box probably holds 50% more than a pin. But I don't remember how much it was. I think I had a cloth money bag with me, but definitely didn't have a coin counter or anything else, so I just dumped a LOT of quarters into the money bag and left it locked up in the machine. Boss went back out that day or the next to count it all. I think it was something in the $500 range, though.

Hmm. Did I buy tokens from you? A few years ago I bought about 70lbs of tokens. The seller said he was using the "If it fits, it ships." but said that wasn't true. Had to break it up into two shipments.

I had a mouse in a bowler. Poked it out with a stick and it bounced off a bell and made a dull ding sound. It made me smile.

I found J-Pop hiding in one of my pins, had to tell him to get lost.
