If you are talking about the old Nintando Donkey Kong "roll down" style coin chute, they can be adjusted for one or the other but not both.

Yes, they are the DK style. Can I modify them to take token? Last birthday party the kids just pocketed the quarters I left out for the game.

Yes, Asahi Seiko USA (the manufacturer, who still makes these chutes by the way) can provide you with instructions on how to adjust them for the size of 'coin' you want to use.
