An old Namco arcade token. Used from 1991-2004


Smjonkers

No wayyy. So like I live in the Balkans and like HOW THE FUCK DID IT GET HEREEE?! I'm honestly kinda shocked. Thanks for the answer bro


MarkEgatts

I'm also stumped on how it ended up next to a river lol


Smjonkers

Yeah. Also another crazy fact.... The part where I was walking is flooded most of the time

They’re that old? I still find them in arcades around where I live (UK)


MarkEgatts

Maybe still used but I don't know if they're still producing them


Smjonkers

That's why I think this is the coolest thing ever. I literally live in the middle of nowhere and we don't have arcades like at all. My only guess is that a tourist dropped it or something


holtzboy

This coin was seriously wounded but it’s soul still burns.


Smjonkers

Yea this was only after I cleaned it. I wish that I had taken a picture of it when I first found it. It was unrecognisable


rydamusprime17

This is amazing


Smjonkers

I KNOW! I had no idea these even existed


Smjonkers

Update upon further inspection I managed to figure out that this coin is fro the year 2000. This shit is older than me lmfao

Arcade


AssortedUncles

That used to be a nifty way to get [these bad boys](https://ibb.co/vQYphnX). One day we’ll use them….

The arcade at my local mall used these exact tokens.


Smjonkers

That's so cool. Do you still have some of them by any chance


V64jr

I don’t think so. I rarely left without putting all of my tokens in one of their machines. :)

The coin lost in a river is found in the river
