I have owned hundreds of arcade games, played and examined thousands more, and never once encountered one that took more than one kind of coin. |

I'm in the Uk & i'm sure mine adds up the amount of the different denomination of coins. So 10p + 2x20p =50p, which would give you 1 credit. I think my mech has a jumper that you change to set how much 1 credit should be worth. I'll check out the details when I get home |

Also, it would have to be the mech, as no gameboard I am aware of supports multiple denominations. Also, is it an ARCADE GAME thing, or a FRUIT MACHINE thing? |

These accept 3 or 4 denominations and accumulate/set prices in addition to having inputs/connections for optional currency/banknote acceptors. These cost a lot of money (usually around $250 to $900 in the USA). --- End quote --- thats what you need to have any coin add up to one credit and is in most of the machines in the uk. If you just use one coin (or use the nasties hack) then you just need a coin door and mech |
