Title: Old Arcade Token Collection
Post by: RayB on July 18, 2005, 07:25:36 pm

Forgive me if this is a re-post...

Here's a set of photos of old arcade tokens. Too bad the design contest has wound down. These are good for design ideas! (Check out the BLUE ONES!)

I only see Electronics toys from the past, not Tokens.

There are definitely some cool tokens in there.. I especially like the Atari one near the bottom. 

There are also some parking and laundry tokens mixed in as well!   ;D

Only pictures I can find of them and they aren't very good, but there were some of tokens from the 1982 World's Fair in Nasheville, TN on ebay the other week that I bid on(didn't win) just for fun.

I was a bit young at the time and the only thing I remember about the fair was the sunsphere and walking up to it.  That and I had some commemerative glasses. Now I  wish I had the tokens or remembered the video expo

Those tokens are sweet! 

i was at that worlds fair too.  Only things i can remember are the Sunsphere, the heat and the case of "Worlds Fair Beer" my Dad bought because he thought it would be a collector's item!
