Hi there,
I joined the site today to contact you about this coin, I tried to email you, but because I am new, the site police would not allow it ;)
I have been trying to find any information I can on this "flippit" coin.
I have had mine for many years, it was given to me by a stranger in the street, who put it in my hand and told me to keep it, then walked away. I am curious to know where it comes from, and if you have had any luck in finding out any information on the piece!?
Sincerely;
Trisha.

Sadly, I've had no luck at all. Maybe resurrecting this thread will bring some new information. Good luck to both of us.

Called flippers they come in a number of sub categories. Your Decisionmeter is a newer version or modern probably from the 70's.
They were novelty matching coins Head-tail flippers,nudes or clothed people with or with out advertising, with animals again with or with out advertising. Non- pictorial types with just words,political flippers, stock market and topical flippers. And yours which can be anywhere form late 60's to present.
There is also modern adult arcade tokens that are flippers as this example They use the tokens as they can raise prices on the peep shows and vid players without replacing the insert in the coin ops. Plus there is the hope that people would buy some to give to friends.

There also is the male versions.
Prices/values are all over the map. You can find them in the .25 bargain bin to way over priced on ebay.
moderns are less .25 to $3.00
older style are .50 to $5.00
The advertising ones tend to sell better to the advertising collector crowd.
Hope it helps.
As with everything your mileage may vary!

I have a small batch of Decision Maker and related dies that I purchased off of ebay some years ago. I'm thinking of striking some but I don't know why or when. LOL

Here is one of them.

My mom bought me a lot of old foriegn coins and I happened to find a coin like that but with two men on it lol. My mom is ultra conservative so when she saw she got me that Christmas morning she was not happy. It made my morning seeing her reaction.
