Best way to dispense/ store tokens?

(1/5) > >>

Donkbaca:
So, I have my coin door lit up, and modified it to take .984 tokens and got a bunch of tokens.  The question to those of you that use tokens in your arcade, how do you store your tokens?  Right now I have them in a box, I would like to get some sort of mechanical dispenser, anyone know where i can get one?

DCsegaDH:
I don't do this, but I seen others use an ashtray to hold the coins.

Nephasth:
If you really want an "authentic" arcade experience you could get a change machine like this one.



I've seen them go for around $150 on CL and ebay around the Denver area.

Or you could modify a coin sorter to have a hopper full of tokens and dispense them when a button is pushed or a lever is pulled. I have one from the early 90s that I think would work better than this, but here's an example.



Or get a belt coin dispenser (that one's not for tokens, but I know they're around) like the arcade ops used to where...

Back pockets work well and you could win something nice at the post office or the liquor store.

Donkbaca:
Don't want authentic at all.  Want something maybe vintage, like an old coin changer or something.  Want something mechanical versus electronic.   Might just make on myself?
