George_V New Member Greece 2 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 09:22 am Ok I am new here but I just saw a strange coin (or at least I think its a coin) On one side you can see an eagle looking right with a us shield holding an olive branch surrounded by stars. On the reverse you can see a ship (simillar to the 1967 british half penny ship) And it has no face value Its propably nothing but I am very curious if any one of you has seen something similar. Is it some kind of token or a coin? Edited by George_V 10/04/2016 09:24 am Report this Post to the Staff

Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 10/04/2016 3:58 pm generic arcade token. Good news is, 90% of the machines out there will take them, since the arcade machine companies don't like to have to make more than one type of coin acceptor for their machines. Not sure what they have in Greece, but give it a shot! Report this Post to the Staff
