Title: Cheap Tokens - Domican Pesos
Post by: jay on March 28, 2009, 10:06:23 PM
I just got back from the Dominican Republic - Punta Cana ! baby !

When i wasn't drinking my wife was dragging me shopping......

Anyways the local currency is Dominican Peso's - Smallest note I saw was 200Pesos albiet there may be smaller, anything smaller than 200 pesos I received in coin.

1 US dollar = 35 Peso's

That means 350 peso's  (350 coins) = $10.00  which would make pretty cheap slot tokens...

These are much heavier than Japanese paschilo slot tokens, and I am sure if you bought 20 batches at 20 times you would get a consistent metal content which is important for coin comparitors. The paschilos use coin mechs and as long as it is the same size (weight doesn't play a factor) they work.

I have 3 series of Pashilo tokens and with the sensitivity dialed all the way down I can only get 2 series to work with the third just falling through.

So how many did you load your pants down with on the way home?  :5- :72-

Glad you and your wife had a good trip and a safe journey home.

Ok, this is something that interests me.  I could use about 10,000 tokens or pesos.  Thanks Jay

Have a great weekend,
Wayne

I brought home about 20.... My goal was to see how they ran through the optics and quarter hopper without any kind of mod. The coin is slightly thicker than a quarter but not signficantly so. Much less than say a british pound.

Just hold on to your quarters -  When Obama is done they'll be worth less than the pesos.  :30-

(Sorry I couldn't resist)

In that case you should exchange your quarters for pesos now, and exchange the pesos for quarters when they've devalued. :79- :30- :97- :97-

Jay,

Did these coins work properly in your quarter slot machines?

Regards,

Stat, That's the new business model.
Buy high and sell low, but you make it up in volume.
Then when you go broke you blame the government.
