What To Do With 14 Pounds Of Generic Tokens ?
Any ideas on what I can do with 14 pounds of tokens ( mixed metal ) ?
Maybe some arts-and-crafts project ? I'm probably going to donate them to Goodwill for the tax write off at the end of the year if I can not find a good use for them.
.
I originally bought a 50 pound bag of tokens, and these generics are whats left over after I sorted 'em. They have no resale value unless I am somehow able to find the machines they work with.

How much did you want for them? I don’t really have a use for them.

Arts an crafts...grab a drill, some fishing line or whatever an make chimes.
Find an arcade somewhere that uses them..
Sell them on ebay as an arcade collector item...
Mail'm to me for a beverage an a picture of a cooler. I'll even sign it.
Parts of this post were in jest, I'll allow the reader to decide which.

I know someone who may buy them. Reach out to portlandmint.com (Adam Youngs). He has a co-worker (Commonwealth C&C) who buys tokens, but I'm not sure if he can use the type you have. I know he does buy transit tokens, however.

How about Chuck E. Cheese's?

have a contest who ever gets closest to the number of tokens wins them.
Better than the dump!

~$2.50 on Ebay for bulk ... generics ( tokens that can not be linked to anything ) don't sell for that price. I do not think anyone actually buys them unless you know which machines they work with.

Bill at Commonwealth tells me he pays $2 a pound for these as a courtesy. They deal more with foreign coins, so this is a sideline for them. Keep in mind that you would need to pay the freight to get it to him in Portland, OR.

Someone told me IRS did away with that deduction
I have not had time to verify yet

The donations to Goodwill/thrift stores were abused big time.
Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Put em in quarter rolls and give them away?!?
Bury them on a beach in a small metal box
Toss em in the tolls. Cuz that's what I think the road is worth
Give random graffiti googly eyes
Possibilities are endless

A friend has a tresurechest that he puts any coins or take jewerly or such into. His kids loved it & the Grandkids probably will too.
I have thought about making them from wooden pallets & metal strapping from the waste bin of a local Steel & Tube supplier.
