Creating or buying a button with a coin / 25 cents / $ symbol?
« on: September 17, 2016, 10:52:11 pm »
My search skills must be lacking - does anyone have ideas on either creating or buying a simple button that has an indicator for Insert Coin?  I'm talking a regular button like Player 1, Player 2, etc.

Thanks!

SlammedNiss does vinyl button decals here for either LED or non-LED buttons.

For LED buttons with a removable cap, you can inkjet print your own inserts like the ones here or here on Avery 18665 (10 pack) or Avery 8665 (25 pack) media.



Groovy Game Gear sells inserts here but they only work with certain types of LED buttons.

Awesome!  I wasn't sure how putting a sticker/label/vinyl thing on the top of a button would work but at the price he charges it's definitely worth a shot.  I like how his standard buttons sheet has 4 $0.25 so I can replace them if they wear off.

It's on top of the button insert, it's still under the top of the button. In other words, you don't actually feel the decal. For my money, I go with the inserts from GGG, and translucent HAPP red buttons. They look like this



And I prefer my buttons concave, so that's why I go with them. If you are ok with convex, there are a ton of options out there for you.
