    Quoted from pinmister:

    Has nothing to do with the cost of the coin mechs(unless you are Planetary)
    Could be $50-$200 does not matter
    It has to do with revenue potential-machines that do not make money are WORTHLESS

    Ops just use bill collectors now. Coin mechs aren’t needed.

    How much longer is physical currency even going to be used? Time to advance to the next level and do away with them. I do agree that something needs to be put in it's place, decorative at least.

    Quoted from Deez:

    This is such a scary thought. You want the govt to be able to shut off your spending source on a whim with no alternative? What's the benefit of just getting rid of currency? You can live that way today if you want. Every financial transaction would require and internet connection. This is so dumb lol.

    We're already there, or soon will be. Doesn't matter what we want, it's all being planned for us.

    But back to coin mechs. Actually, now is the perfect time for them to stop them. With the backload of games, sure there will be some anger, but like anything else, the demand will outweigh the negativity and people will still buy pinball games. I'd do it now if I was Stern. Ride out the negative goodwill hit and then it will blow over in a year or so. Maybe offer a separate coin door as an add on like a shaker motor.

    I agree with you but the deck has been stacked against us.
