Coin holders inside coin doors?

[Shoegazer]

Anyone know if these things are for sale anywhere?  I'm speaking of the coin holders that would "catch" coins as they drop from inside the coin doors - I'm thinking a metal cup of some sort that's maybe 4-inches high by 8-inches long and semi-circle shape - but to be honest I don't really know.  Would be nice to have though - currently I just use a plastic dish that sits on the bottom of the cabinet and would like something a little more "professional".

Thanks!

The professional ones are just soup cans without labels.

Bet Ponyboy or Divemaster127 can get is even cheaper for you (especialy shipping wise).

I need something like that, but wider and shallower, like a coinbox from a pinball machine. I don't suppose the Great Oz has something like that in his bag, does he?

These, along with a hunk of cardboard and a busy city street corner, are the most effective devices for collecting quarters known to mankind.

Inside the cabinets I've owned, I've seen all  kinds of things to catch coins. From metal cases attached to the coin door on a 1976 Atari LeMans, to plastic trashcans positioned under the door. On the crazy climber I just purchased... they built a chute for the coins to travel to the bottom third of the game. The bottom third of the game has it's own lock and you can get to the coins without even opening the coin mechs.

What you do is up to you... I'd suggest building a box. It doesn't appear to be a standard way to catch coins.

It is on the inside of the cab, doesn't really matter what it looks like as long as it keeps the quarters from rolling around inside.

Just need some container that is wide enough to cover both of the coin chutes, tall enough to hold the amount of quarters you want, yet small enough to grab out of the bottom access door if you need to empty it.

my cabinet came with a large, square, plastic bucket that sits in a metal mounting bracket, this thing looks like it would hold almost a gallon of water.  It barely fits through the coin door.

but like everyone else said, you can use whatver you want, as long as it catches the coins.

I'm currently using a Lipton tea bag box wrapped in masking tape.  It cost me practically nothing!

Turns out that a 10" x 10" cake pan is just the right size for the coin enclosure on this thing.

Now I need to find a 5/8" cam lock for it. Who came up with the idea of a different size opening for the coin door and coin box locks??
