I know there are much more interesting things that have been found in games, but for you local guys, I thought this was kind of cool.

I just found this Scandia token in the bottom marquee bracket of Jungle King I just picked up from nutballchamp.

He said he won the game at an auction about 15 years ago so I wonder how old this token really is. It looks new though so I don't really know.

Nice find! I used to work in Santa Rosa and played many times at that same Scandia in Rohnert park, it's a pretty cool place and the arcade was sweet, lots of games and pinballs. I havent been back there in a few years so I'm not sure if it's still open or not and I currently work in Palo Alto now but if it's still open really cool place to stop.
 
@MikeBetz That's awesome. SC Boardwalk is another memorable spot. From what I hear, they still have a decent pin row.

@Back2the80s Yeah, I haven't been there in probably 20+ years. I'm sure it's very different now.
 
I only know of the Fairfield one. I went there about a year or two ago. Still had a pretty active and big arcade, but everything is in "just barely running" shape. I always eye balled their sit down hang on unit. Every time I've been there it is not working and is more of a novelty for kids to climb on. Their Pinballs are notorious for never being in even half-assed playable condition.
 
We have a Scandia here in Sac..... have not found a token in anything I have ever picked up from them tho...

I have found some tokens from somewhere in Texas in one of the games I picked up tho, if IIRC...

I think I found some of those while picking through some tokens I just got. I definitely remember the Viking on the token. What I really want is Aladdin's castle tokens I would trade some of my random stuff for some. So far I think I have only found 3 Aladdin's castle tokens in the lot I got but I'm not done sorting them yet.

Are these rare or is this just the nostalgia factor?
 
Yup! Though, I'm told the tokens are now obsolete. They now run their games off card readers.

I hope to find an Aladdin's Castle token as well. It would be cool to frame them.
 
Looks like I have 6 scandia tokens so far years are all over the place.

I have so many random tokens if anyone wants to trade let me know. I really don't have a big attachment to the majority of them. So freaking many It would probably take over an hour to list LOL.

I know Scandia Fairfield is converting to card readers as well, but still uses tokiens, and tokiens after 2006 only work I believe, or maybe 2007...
