I have been immersed in this hobby/sickness for about 15 years now....and loving every minute of it! :)

The only thing that makes it better is when I'm doing something in the hobby with my kids.

Over the past few years, I've had clients ask about keeping people from putting coins into their machines. This is typically a request from businesses that are running games on free play. Most of the time they don't even have coin mechs. Even though it says "free play" all over, people still put coins in, so they end up with quarters all over the bottom of the cabinets. Even worse, if they DO happen to have coin mechs...people jam them up and make a big mess.

I know there are solutions out there, so this is nothing ground breaking. Just a fun project with my daughter. She's been doing a lot of 3D printing lately, and here's what she came up with. For this project we decided to tackle the two most common coin entries I see out there. It's very easy to install....you don't have to modify anything...and easy to revert back if needed. I was really happy with the results. Proud Papa :)
