Coin Door thoughts - to wire up or not?

On the fence on whether you should wire up your coin door or not? I've had Mame cabinets for years and putting quarters in my cabinet was fun the first dozen times or so but after the novelty wore off it was all about the games. Everyone now opts to use the coin buttons. I'm glad I have the coin door, but in my house it's not worth it to use quarters.

I'll still use coin doors, but only for aesthetics. Whats your experience?

yotsuya:

Mine are wired, but I use 'Any Coin' mechs, so people can drop in quarters, nickels, tokens, and whatnot. The novelty hasn't worn off.

Dechene:

I've switched to coin buttons now as well.

The coin slot is nice to look at, but it slows me down too much when I'm in an epic Metal Slug session and want to add a quick $10 to the game to keep playing!

yotsuya:

I will add that the iPac's shift function makes it easy to use tokens or not. I like using tokens for nostalgic reasons, but it's easy to credit up a coin muncher without using coins.

Nephasth:

I have modified my quarter mechs to accept most coins. I will also install switches behind the reject buttons. To add credits, tokens can be dropped in or the reject button can be pushed.
