I've got 5000 tokens, they are semi-magnetic, as in very weak. They're 25mm tokens, and I would like to use them in my home arcade. However, they're getting stuck on the magnetic trip. I've already got it adjusted as far as possible. It has worked a few times but it seems to be a crap shoot. Are ther any suggestions on getting these to work? Please let mer know asap, as I have a window where I can return these.
 
Is the problem:

(a): The tokens are weak magnets?
In this case, you could maybe try degaussing them?

or

(b): The tokens are not magnets, but weakly attracted to a magnet?
In this case, could you remove the magnet that they are attracted to from the mech?
 
The tokens themselves are mildly magnetic. They're not attracted to other magnetic coins. There's a magnet in the mech(it's a coin controls from Royton, UK). It looks like the magnet is riveted in or something like that. I tried diddling with it a little and removed the magnets but it looks like they still fall through the reject side.
