I've got 100 of the MAME tokens, with 100 each of the 2004 and 2005 BYOAC tokens ordered.

... I have a feeling that I'm going to start collecting these damn things.  Thanks for the new addiction, Santoro.

I only have 100 MAME. I love the 2005 set but do not know if I really need 200 tokens at the house. I guess I could raid the local chucky cheese if I wanna unload em.  ;)

does anyone want to trade like 10 MAME tokens for 10 2005. I am about to purchase a monitor and do not know if I will have the funds before the 2005s run out.

I have 400 or so at home right now, and I think that's enough for the time being. :)

I'll probably order at least 100 of any new token designs Santoro makes though.

I have 500 that came with my Beast Sapp Pachislo machine and another 500 at my office that we use to play the games I have there (TMNT, POW, ROADBLASTERS).

Got 400.  200 of the MAME tokens and I just ordered the reprint of the 2004 coins.

At the moment I have thousands with more on the way.  ;D

For my personal use I keep about 500.  I don't play much lately so I don't go through them all very often.

About 10, each from a different closed down arcade, and one swipe card from the defunct Jillians.

A better question would be how many different types of tokens do you have?  I have about 84, each different.

I have about a dozen that I collected from various arcades when I was younger.  This is like golf right?  The lower the number the better your doing?

I have 200, with 400 more on the way!  And I don't even have a machine to play on (yet).   ;D

I wonder what the wife will say when she finds out I ordered 400 more?!?!

I've got one that I didn't use from a Chucky Cheese I took the kids to over the holidays.  I plan on getting some BYOAC tokens though once I finish my cab...

since pixel threatened to not enter this year.

Where'd he do that?  I was speculating that he might be busy, but I have no idea if that will be the case.  Hope I didn't give the impression that I know something.

Somewhere in the token design thread. Though it wasn't a "threat"  :P  I really feel the token design should be a community project and I agree with the posts during voting that it's a bit counter to that end if the same person is involved every year whether as a finalist or not. I plan on participating, but only to bling others' entries so we don't have to judge designs in black & white and can have a consistent look to all the entries. I won't be submitting any designs myself.

And yes Santoro, you are correct, I will be knee deep in my project too! Wheeeeeeee...

I am thinkng about starting the design 'contest' thread in April.  There is really nothing to stop people from discussing designs now on thier own, but I don't have the spare time to moderate the whole thing this time of year.
