Title: QUESTION FOR EVERYONE: Where do you keep their tokens/coins??
Post by: marknetwork on November 01, 2006, 07:47:27 pm

Hello,

I'm just posting a question to the general community...where do you keep your coins/tokens for your arcade machines?  I currently just have them all dumped into a bowl next to my arcades, looking for more unique ideas.  Hope to get lots of responses!!

I just use a glass fishbowl-like container I got from the craft store..

Although, we're trying to get Santoro to create some BYOAC branded containers  :)  Might want to hit him up to see where he stands on that  :)

Do many people have change machines in their houses?  I don't know if its really worth it they're pretty big and bulky, I'd love a small little change machine that would be neat.

I keep mine in half a gourd. I never really considered how silly this seems.

That's the only one I have.  That's why I keep posting it.  I'm making up for quantity with, well, quantity.

You should ask Santoro about this.  We were talking about these in another thread. (http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=57548.msg567378#msg567378)

I keep mine in some cups I stole borrowed from Chuckle Cheese's. Then each of my kids can use their own cup o' tokens.

I stand there with one of those apron-like things with pouches, and a coin dispensor (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120048458703&ssPageName=MERCOSI_VI_ROSI_PR4_PCN_BIX&refitem=130004132771&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&refwidgettype=osi_widget) on my belt.
