¿Question #223960?
RealGuest: Why did video arcades use tokens instead of quarters?

pwilz: I don't know, but I was rolling change from my change bucket this past weekend, and if Diamond Jim's ever re-opens, I'm set.
kswingruber: It was a money-making scheme... fools like me would buy $20 worth of tokens, play a few games, leave with a pocketfull of tokens, then forget about them and/or lose them...
0Shea0: An early lizard person plan to undermine the stability of currency worldwide!!
Woelf: Significantly less chance of someone trying to bust the machine open to get at the cash inside.
mr3d: to easily change the price and work with any currency?
MABBY: Hey, that's a good one!
