I'm still in the early stages of building my arcade, but ever since I saw the episode of The Office where Dwight introduced the Schrute Buck and Stanley invented the "Stanley Nickel", I knew I had to have those for my arcade.
However, I'd surely have to buy a minimum amount and pay to have the custom die made. Perhaps if enough people had interest, we could get some minted at a reasonable cost for everyone? Maybe even the fine folk at ArcadeReplay.com would be interested in this?
Just thought I'd throw it out there, hopefully there's interest in something like this!

I havent seen that episode of The American Office, Ill have to look out for it. I havent seem many of the American ones to be honest but I love The Office (original UK version), I must have seen both series and the xmas specials five times or more :)
Just so you know as regards to tokens the minimum order amount is about 5000 and custom dies are about $200 per side. 5000 tokens are around $700.

As great of an episode as that was, to me it just doesn't fit with an arcade theme.
And I have seen all episodes of both the British and American Office. I love them both, but I like the American version better. I wish they'd do some sort of merger between the 2 companies and combine some of the British characters with the American ones (i.e. relocate them to the Scranton branch).

I'm an American who can't stand the US version of The Office.
My top favorite shows of all time are all British:
Fawlty Towers
The Office
Spaced
Black Books
Extras
Monty Python's Flying Circus
The Young Ones

It's kind of an expensive "joke".

It's a funny idea, and I like the design you came up with. You could also probably find people outside of the BYOAC community who would be interested in them as well, since I'd imagine that a lot of Office fans would love to get their hands on a "Stanley Nickel." I love The Office, and if I end up using tokens I'd love to get a handfull of these at some point.
"Wait, what's the exchange rate from Schrute Bucks to Stanley Nickels?"
"The same as the rate from leprechauns to unicorns."
