Vanillie New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 3:27 pm Can anyone help me identify this token? This token was given to me by a family member because I started collecting different currency a few years ago. After looking through a few different data bases, I believe it is a token not specifically currency. There is no date and the image is the same on both sides. **Both sides are exactly the same Edited by Vanillie 01/21/2021 10:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Vanillie New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 10:42 pm I have added a picture of diameter to the original post. It is one inch. Both sides are the same. @alganbagerap Report this Post to the Staff
Vanillie New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 01/21/2021 11:00 pm I found this once searching panchinko: letters different but obviously the same type...maybe just a slightly differece with different date ranges. Thank you. 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. Report this Post to the Staff
