dazedandconfused New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/03/2015 4:10 pm Found these in my yard, very bizarre considering I live on a horse form in farm country. They are five different asian tokens. They seem to me to be arcade coins but I can not know for sure. The bottom right coin is a picture of a cupid. If anyone knows any information on these coins I would be very appreciative of your help. Report this Post to the Staff

dazedandconfused New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 04/03/2015 4:27 pm Thank you John, I was able to identify the "million" coin as an arcade token from japan. Thank you. The others were not there though. Still a mystery Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16850 Posts	Posted 04/05/2015 7:06 pm They are generally known as "pachinko tokens", as they are most commonly used in pachinko parlours. Pachinko is a peculiarly Japanese form of entertainment, kind of a cross between a slot machine and a pinball machine. It's computerized digital equivalent is known as "pachisuro". The tokens could have been used in either type of machine and could date from anywhere from the 1960s to the 1990s. If you do a forum search for "pachinko" you'll find numerous other styles and types. I'm not aware of any English-language catalogues, though such catalogues do no doubt exist in Japanese. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
