TreasureGirl Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 In case you can't read it, it says "DAIGAKU PACHINKO". It's the same on both obverse and reverse. Found it on the ground next to a parking meter and snatched it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Probably a Japanese gaming token. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Indeed as Art notes, it is a Japanese gaming token. Panchinko was very very popular in Japan, and still is to some extent. It is a kind of combination slot machine and pinball machine. They do not pay out cash, but pay out tokens like this which are exchangeable for trinkets, snacks etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Daigaku means University and Pachinko is those pinball games you see in Japan. It's actually a legal gamble place in Japan although I'm not too sure if there are any pachinko in ANY universities in Japan. Most probably a company decided to call itself "university". Nevertheless, interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
