Arcade Tokens
Aug. 14th, 2005 02:22 amBoingBoing.net has a post about a Flickr photo set: "Many, many photos of old arcade game tokens".
This is making me jealous. I used to collect tokens when I was in high school and college. In fact, I still have them. These were given to me from endless sources who I asked to bring back local arcade, transportation or phone tokens from their winter or summer college breaks all over the country and world. I have many tokens shown here and several that aren't. Common ones bring back memories of good times; rare ones make me imagine what fascinations were held in store at the attractions that dispensed them. My favorite is the science coin, the last two photos in the gallery. (Front. Back.) I have one. I don't know who made it, but it's neat.
