I found about $8.00 in an empty Galaxian cabinet that I picked up for free. Other than that it's just been a random quarter or two, never more than a couple of bucks worth.
Money found in games you bought.

Bought a Tokyo Wars 2 player sitdown at auction for $60 and found $30 in quarters in the coin box. Best Deal Ever!

I found about $5 in each of my machines. My Pepsi machine had about $5 in it too.

Didnt find any coins at all, but opened the back of my Neo Geo a few weeks after i got it and found 5 of the white neo geo mini marquees (sold 3 for 45 bucks) and some random game art and sold most of it. Also found a working coin mech in the back too. So basically got 75 bucks in stuff I sold and held on to the rest.

Up until today I never found anything more than a dollar worth of quarters. I was picking up that DK Jr. cabinet and when we tipped it back to put it in the van I hears what sounded like a bunch of quarters. I asked him if he had the key or a drill or a couple of screw drivers. He answered "well, it's not my machine and not my quarters... Just selling it for my old room mate who moved out two years ago. So, have fun"... Well, when I got home I pried it open (about a 10 second task) and low and behold... Found $40.75 worth of change!!! JACKPOT!!!

Made your machine that much cheaper, and leaves the others wishing they would have taken it at the great deal it really was. Chuckle loudly as you put the change in the kids piggy bank.

Never found any significant amount, just the normal stuff laying in the bottom. I did however find a bag a weed in the bottom of the StarTrek I just got..."you put your weed in there"

I paid $25 for a non-working Black Tiger game (bad monitor). I found $20 in quarters in the bottom of it and sold the working PCB for $25. Nice!

Bought a Datona USA twin for 500 bux and found 18 bux jammed in the mechs...
Bought a Addams family pin from a guy, working 1400.00, he insisted that i take a 3 player off road. I said i really didnt need the offroad, he says he will sell it cheap, 150.00. I still said i dont need it (i always need it, just really didnt feel like lifting the big beast. He then says, "ill take 50.00 for it" allright, you twisted my arm, ill take it. Got home, the addams family had 212.00 in quarters in it, the offroad had 96.00 in it I was glad he twisted my arm. (also, ebayed the off road and got 1300.00 for it. yes 1300.00, not a typo!!

I remember seeing that auction. That's one of many Off Roads that has hit $1000+ on eBay. Glad ya posted it, because people seem to somehow miss those auctions, only finding the ones where they sell for 23 cents.
That being said, since this thread is back up top, after 14 years I still have yet to find any significant amount of money in a game. My best so far was finding $9 in a game I bought last year at Super Auctions for $2.50....heh.

Can't remmebr if I posted in this thread or not. But the last Super Pac I got had 16 dollars or so in quarters paid 100 + fees for the game and a Dinoscore I bought off ebay NWing for 102.50 had 70+ dollars in quarters. Had to drive from Grady, AR to Greenwood, MS to get it but no big deal. Guy had bought it from a warehouse and never plugged it in or messed with it.
Have found a few tokens before. And the person above who found tokens those tokens you found I could only get less than a 1.00 for them so not worth my time.
