I was thinking the same thing. I've been waiting for Santoro to comment back about the tokens, but he hasn't been logged on since Nov 30th. If you're willing to take this on, I say do it. It would be a shame if no tokens were made this year either. Perhaps a new thread should be started?

I had a design thought for one side of the 2012 token (if a dated token is made); a Mayan calendar-esque design with recognizeable arcade characters, such as space invaders, instead of Mayan symbols... with the end of the world coming up and all... :dunno

I am in to purchase some if this moves forward.

2012 is the year my cabinet will finally get done.   ;D

I would take several hundred if the design was clean and simple and preferably yearless. I'd also prefer a nickel token. I think having more of a "universal" design that wasn't specific to BYOAC or MAME might appeal to a broader audience. I kind of like the idea of an arcade machine on one side and maybe a "one-up" mushroom on the back. This would sort of cover the arcade aspect of this hobby as well as the console emulator aspect.

One warning about nickel plated tokens: the plating comes off with use. I was warned about that before I had mine made, and some small flakes are already coming off, even on un-circulated tokens.

They do look nicer, however. I also went with nickel plate since many of my games use electronic comparators that reject other place's brass tokens.
gamepimp:
That's a bummer. I wonder if a company that does plating can "refresh" tokens that might be losing their nickel finish? I still think I'd prefer nickel over brass since my brass tokens tarnish so easily...

I really hope u can make a go of minting some new tokens. I know there are many users like myself that would like to add some new tokens to their collections.  :)
