I like the latin idea, but something is not quite right about it. It seems like it's supposed to be a spin off of the US quarter text, but you have things mixed up. "In God We Trust" is not in latin on the quarter, it's "Out Of Many, One", or "E Pluribus Unum". Perhaps something along the lines of "Out Of Many, MAME" or

Some geared for the space invaders side:
Killing space invaders since I was a teen.
Build it, the invasions coming.
Redeemable for three turrets.

Here are some with similar wording, not sure what sounds best(feel free to suggest alternatives if you like):
The only token you'll ever need.
The last token you'll ever need.
Masters/Winners only need one (token).

Others:
Token mightier than the quarter.

FYI the slogan will replace the "All your games are belong to us" that was used as a generic template during the creation of the designs....

Only if 'all your games are belong to us' is voted down.

I'll make sure it is.  If I have to stuff the ballot box with thousands of fake accounts, or pay people off with arcadey goodness, it will never see the light of day.

My favorites so far...

ALL YOUR GAME...
Build. Restore. Play.
The game is never over.
In arcadus nos fides.
Cocktails anyone?

I haven't come up with anything better, but will add my lame thoughts to help spark some ideas.

Just one more game.
Good for one high score.
Warning: This token will explode if removed from this arcade, so put it back right now you filthy thief who has nothing better to do than freeload and then steal my tokens.
Real gamers use tokens.
Bringing pixels to life.

I feel that the slogan thread needs to be branched off into groups:
One dealing with credit/token/value
One for nod/wink to us BYOAC'ers
One for Themed slogans dealing with token design

For themes so far, I like:

Build.Play.Repeat
One token to play them all..

And for a spin off on the Latin thing, I suggest

"E Pluribus Arcadium"

I have no idea if it is correct, but it rolls of the tongue nicely. ;D

Sometimes the simple things are the best.  The same things that were on real tokens back when.

One Coin, One Play
One Credit

etc.
