I got a Tron once that had in the coin bucket about 10 handgun permits and the closing sheet for someone's house as well as a bunch of other high dollar receipts / records.

Yep, its gonna be a long time (if ever) for something to knock that Choplifter find off the #1 spot.

And yep, this isnt the first time Ive shared my best and worst finds either. But here we go again, $26 in a free RoadBlasters, and a couple mouse corpses in an old Sega Turbo.

find

what was in a choplifter?

on my stuff in 1986 i sold a centipede that i never looked under the cash box and was later told by buyer there was a sealed 500.00 bag of quarters there and i sold the game for 300 lol

I started cleaning out my Space Firebird cocktail for restoration 2 weekends ago.
I can see an old dollar bill in the coinbox through the top. I look a little closer and notice there is a $20.00 bill wrapped inside of it. Once I drilled the lock and pulled the coinbox open I grabbed the bills and noticed there was a $50.00 in the roll. Once I unraveled the roll of bills I am now $230.00 richer. Oh, the money is Canadian and from my estimation the money has been in the coinbox since the early 80s.

The answer is a few posts ahead of yours.

In my first Donkey Kong I bought a couple years ago, from a young guy whose appearance and demeanor might have cued me in on what I was going to find:

a "film can" - *wink*

Wasn't full or spectacular by any means, looked pretty old, but I "used" it anyways

I don't know if this thread has been don but it's raining here and I am bored. I was cleaning out the back of my games and found 250 tokens, movie stubs, manuals, quarters (up to $4.50) and in the back of TOOBIN'.................

Never been set up comes with the cardboard stand. I wonder if I can still get the T-Shirt?!?!?

That sign should be reproed. That thing is awesome looking. I would pick up one for my Toobin.

Probably more than that, but this is all I can remember.

This is all I ever find inside of games...

 

[JohnDrzal]

My best still is the $590 in quarters I found in a toy crane I bought for $100.

Yeah - I'd be wearing a diving suit before tackling that one! Which game is it?

It was an old pong clone. It was disgusting inside. The smell was so bad that it almost made me puke. We pulled what we could out of it and got rid of the cab. The bottom was loaded with dead bird carcasses, a dead rat, and who knows what else. Other games from that haul had dead kittens inside and various other critters. Good times.

 

[smithnick0]

Yes those are what the tokens look like from huck finns!
