    Quoted from DaveH:

    My quarters started going here in the 80s. The restaurant that my friends and I hung out at switched over to video games, and we started dumping our quarters into them. That started a 20 year affair with video games. I never even thought about owning pins until I walked into my girlfriend’s brother’s basement and he had a couple pins. And then my new addiction started.

    Same here, arcades in my area growing did not have pins. About the only place you could find a pin in my area was the kwik shop or 7-11. All the bars had them but there was that whole age problem! Lot of pac-man, Donkey Kong and all the other classics is where all my quarters went! Wasn't till my father bought a pin back in the mid 90's did I start getting into them!
