Now what would REALLY rock is finding someone who makes custom tokens.

eg. I send a heads and tails image and it gets minted. That would rock.

That's how these got made. We had them done at http://www.tokensdirect.com. The minimum order is for 5000 tokens, plus there's a $195 die charge per side.

Hoffman Mint (http://www.hoffmanmint.com/) will do a minimum order of 1000 (at a higher price, of course) with the same $195 per side die charge. I think Surgeville got his tokens done at Hoffman...

If you look at tokens from various arcades, you can often tell where they are made. If there's a tiny HH or HM on the token somewhere, it came from Hoffman. If there's a tiny interlocking OC or TD, they came from Tokens Direct or its parent company, Osborne Coinage. RWM stands for the Roger Williams Mint. Those are the "big three" that I know of, but there may be more.

Hmmm...Chuck E. Cheese token? Who's that? Not sure I know what you're talking about...awww damn...who put that picture in here!

I might have some of those in the change jar. I'll take a look. Thanks for the tip!

thanks to mp2526 http://www.miavio.com/happilmech.htm

This page shows how to modify a standard Happs .25 mech to be converted for CEC tokens (seem to be damn close to .984), pretty easily I might add.

Going to get some tokens now!

Pixelhugger and JoyMonkey -

I see the problem - My order and initial email were done the day before that vacation notice went up and before the vacation dates.

I guess he was busy packing and getting ready.

Thanks for the assurances, I'll look forward to Feb 7. I have token mechs and nothing to put thru them!!!!

Maybe I'll suggest he put an autoreply on his business email account!

Yeah, you nailed it, the packing for my cruise turned out to be a brawl at my house and we left before I was able to answer the note.

And I was going to set up an autoreply but ran out of time.

unklegwar · « **Reply #87 on:** February 06, 2005, 12:09:34 am »

Thanks for the reply!

Sorry I got so freaked out. Guess depsite being a 'net veteran, I still get nervous about $$ transactions thru paypal and stuff like that.

Hope you had a great cruise. Sounds like fun, but I'm a snowboard kinda guy myself.

I started on the new home for my tokens today. My garage is 1/2" deep in MDF dust. Hooray!

unklegwar · « **Reply #88 on:** February 06, 2005, 03:04:03 pm »

A good weekend of work so far. Now I gotta go watch the Superbowl.

So far, so good. Not too many goofs

aumameman · « **Reply #89 on:** February 07, 2005, 05:13:33 am »

Can't wait till I get my tokens ive ordered 100 of each.

aumameman · « **Reply #90 on:** February 10, 2005, 09:18:03 pm »

Wow I cant believe the quality of the Mame tokens (and the speed of international post). They were posted to me on monday and have arrived here in Australia today (friday).

Santoro · « **Reply #91 on:** February 16, 2005, 09:22:20 am »

Supplies of Brass are running low and I doubt I will be ordering more. I have more Nickel, but not a lot.

In case you were on the fence.

tetsujin · « **Reply #92 on:** February 16, 2005, 11:02:18 am »

Are you still planning to do a new run of the BYOAC tokens this summer? I like that design better...

Santoro · « **Reply #93 on:** February 16, 2005, 11:24:56 am »

Definately maybe.

Definately maybe. $:-\$

The BYOAC tokens we would make this year will be a different design from last year - created by the group with a voting process, same as we did last year.

Too bad. I think the "design by committee" pretty much nailed it the first time. Last year's BYOAC tokens had that iconic look, with simple, clean graphics. I like the shapes, rather than their outlines, being defined in relief. I really haven't seen a token design I'd rather have with my cabinet. I wish I hadn't missed out on them.

The current MAME tokens strike me as too "noisy", especially the cabinet side. The theme doesn't really work for me either... The BYOAC tokens were more old-days gamey, with the happy Atari guy (not the Men's room guy, thank you!) and a big old cabinet. The URL points people here, where they can learn to build a cabinet. The MAME ones, to me, remind people that there's a modern PC inside, running a piece of software they may not have heard of. The URL points them at that one emulator. I don't know. I have a hard time accepting them.

How much would it cost to do another run with the old design? Probably too rich for my blood. But I figure at least the dies are already made so it might be worth asking.

My problem is that I think demand might be low for more tokens.

How many are you looking for? I ended up with 600 of the BYOAC tokens and only 100 MAME tokens... maybe we could work out something where you order me some MAME tokens and I'll send you an equivalent amount of BYOAC tokens? You end up with the tokens you want, I get a better token balance, and Santoro still gets paid....

That sounds like a great deal to me. Brass sounds perfect. 600 sounds like a great amount. I might want more in the future but from what I've read here I won't want less. I'll PM you, we can work out details.

Put a few sets on eBay with a Buy It Now equal to what's on the Web, or up for bid a few dollars cheaper than the website.

Do you take requests? "No Cash Value" is right.

JODY · « **Reply #100 on:** February 21, 2005, 10:18:08 pm »

Is there going to be another run with the TM on it?

Santoro · « **Reply #101 on:** February 21, 2005, 10:42:02 pm »

I have some choice words preselected in case I hear from this clown.

In the spirit of keeping it PG-13 here, I won't be repeating them here!

Cyber Axe · « **Reply #102 on:** February 23, 2005, 11:40:00 am »

i recently recived my Nickel Mame tokens and they look excelent however they were 4 short of 200.

any chance you could send me the missing 4 please? i know its a bit nit picky but the universe is unbalanced till i have the exact amount of nickel mame tokens as my brass byoac tokens!

Santoro · « **Reply #103 on:** February 23, 2005, 12:55:19 pm »

Will do, please drop me a PM with your real name. Sorry for the problem.

Santoro · « **Reply #104 on:** February 26, 2005, 09:59:00 pm »

Ok, it took a while, but I now have small quantities available.

GameOver · « **Reply #105 on:** February 27, 2005, 01:03:00 pm »

Dave,

I just placed an order for 100 tokens (50 brass, 50 nickel). Can't wait to get them! These will be my first tokens (not counting Chuck E. Cheese 7 such).

Good luck selling the rest - I'm sure you'll sell out in time. Maybe you could organize some 'competitions' or lotteries on BYOAC where the tokens you have left could be given as prizes. This way you could deduct your expense to Uncle Sam.

The tokens look great in pics - I can't wait to drop 'em into my coin slots!

Thanks,
Tom

Santoro · « **Reply #106 on:** March 07, 2005, 10:12:56 pm »

OK, I sold my last large lot of brass tokens, from now on the brass MAME tokens will only be available in the 5 & 10 sampler packs, and even then for a limitied time as I won't be ordering more.

We did get in a second lot of Nickel so we will have those in stock for a while longer.

If you want brass MAME tokens this is your last chance to get them!!!!!!

Thanks all for your orders.
Dave

Santoro,

I can understand you not wanting to ship the small shipments overseas.. but, how about Canada?

thanks!

DreamWeb · « **Reply #108 on:** March 13, 2005, 07:23:47 pm »

Also.. would these work in Coin Mechs set to accept Canadian .25's? Or would I need U.S. .25 coin doors?

thanks

i sent payment for a sampeler.... never got a confirm e-mail or anything were thye sent?

Santoro · « **Reply #112 on:** March 29, 2005, 08:37:36 am »

Yes sir, it was mailed on 3/23 via US mail. Look for it today or tomorrow.

If we do tokens again I will definitely set up an auto-responder to avoid these worries.

Thanks
Dave
