arcade tokens
Slot machine money
Arcade tokens are coin-like discs used in place of money at video game arcades and amusement centers.
Players exchange cash for tokens, then insert them into machines to play games or earn prizes.
The tokens typically bear the establishment's name or logo, preventing use elsewhere: I found some old arcade tokens in my junk drawer.
The system has largely given way to swipe cards and digital credits.
