A friend of mine picked up a driving game from the Dallas Auction about 3 years ago, when he drilled the lock the coin-box had overflowed on to the bottom of the cabinet. I don't know how much he ended up with, but it was definately in the hundreds. I get excited when I find an old token at the bottom

17 bucks!!

i only paid $271 for the cabnet in the first place
 
not a game, but a buddy and i bought a few gumball machines. Loaded them up and decided while we were driving which one he would take and which i would. I dropped him off at his place and unloaded them. He called me an hour later to tell me his was stuffed with quarters. we only paid $5 each i think it was
 
I went to a auction one time and got a sweet deal on 13 working games for 1300.00 Some rare ones like a four player Demo Derby sold that later for 750.00 and others
In the bottom of one Contra cabinet I found 43.25 in quarters. I paid 30.00 for the game now that was a score!!
I wish all auctions are like that.

Just bought a Steeplechase and a Sprint 1. No actual money found but they did have the manuals. From the going rates I've seen for the manuals in cyberspace, they seem to go for about $20.00 apeice and are a little hard to find. I was happy to find them.
 
Bought a 1970s pepsi machine not working for 50 bucks. no keys. got home and opened it. 4 cases of pop. 20$ in quarters. And the not working part? A can was jammed in one of the shoots disableing all of them.
 
I once found 50.00 in a poker machine that I purchased for 35.00. I also found three 5.00 bills in an old Space Duel last year. They all had early 1980s dates!
 
I found a crap load of tokens in my Claw Machine (about $50.00 worth) .900's. They work in the games at a local skate rink that has an arcade.

I used em there.....Is that wrong?
