Caboose056 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 10:46 am Hello Coin Community This is my first post, so please cut me some slack if I break any forum rules or if I did something wrong. I go to a college with a lot of international students, and I found this coin in my car today, so I think I might have picked it up on campus. Anyway, I've never seen a coin like this before, and I was wondering if you guys might be able to tell me its origin at least. The characters look Chinese, but I'm not sure and there are no markings other than the ones you see. The back is exactly the same. Report this Post to the Staff

With both sides being the same it is definitely not a coin. Edited by Medieval 10/02/2014 11:00 am Report this Post to the Staff

Caboose056 New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 10/02/2014 1:01 pm Philadelphian - I think you may be correct. Looked up some images of Pachinko tokens online and they do kind of resemble this one, even if they aren't an exact match. Thanks for the help! Report this Post to the Staff
