    A Susan B. Anthony Dollar in the cash box of a Fireball II.

    Quoted from PiperPinball:

    I found a used condom in the coin return of a Austin Power pin!

    Shag-a-delic!

    Quoted from boscokid:

    I had heard of spaghetti wiring but never expected to actually find pasta inside a game

    Are you sure that's old pasta, or just a dried out rubber band?

    Both have the same texture.

    Quoted from Bribo13:

    I brought home a Bally On Beam several weeks ago and all over the bottom board were a bunch ( 46 ) of silver dimes .
    I found this a bit odd not the money part but the Silver dimes .
    This is a 1969 machine and they stopped issuing silver dimes in 1964 . Were silver coins still in circulation and being used in the late 60's and early 1970's
    Is this an unusual occurrence or have others found similar things .

    Yup. I still occasionally get a silver dime or quarter in change. You can always tell by the sound it makes if you drop it. Best one lately was getting a 1921 Liberty Silver quarter as change from a vending machine. It's really worn down, but you can just make out the date and the figure of Liberty on the face.

    Quoted from hlaj78:

    I think that the 1921 quarter is a fairly rare date

    It may be, but this one is so worn it's barely readable.

    As if Gottlieb system 1s didn't have enough hardware problems.
