Coin buttons

TurboJugend:

First post, so take it easy on me if this has been discussed before.  Didn't find anything in search.

So anyway, after years of dreaming about building a mame cabinet I'm finally beginning to get serious about it.  I've been thinking about my CP layout, and I had an idea which I thought might be kinda cool.  You know how people used to line up quarters on the bezel to "call next".  Well, I was thinking about putting my coin buttons on the bezel and maybe gluing a quarter on the top of them to replicate this look.  Has this been done before?  Do you think it would look cheesy?  Any potential problems with doing this? 

I'm a total noob on this stuff.  I don't know electronics or woodworking, but I'm pretty handy and I plan on teaching myself as I go.

The quarter ON the button or above the button?

TurboJugend:

On the button.  So you would press the quarter to "insert a coin".

It's a cool idea. Something different.

I think Supercade or another popular cabinet had it done this way.  If I get time, I'll search for it.

Yep, Supercade.
