<p>[QUOTE=&quot;LA_Geezer, post: 3233563, member: 89393&quot;]Yep, the industry would probably have to name them as $20 slot machines. Funny when you remember that old people would sit at the slots for hours with cups full of nickels or dimes.</p><p><br /></p><p>The slot machines at local casinos used to use the Presidential Dollar coins. About 2 years ago these were abandoned and replaced by tokens. This has the added advantage to the gambling industry of nudging a gambler into using them all instead of cashing them back in before he/she leaves the casino. I had seen many a presidential coin in supermarkets that had come from local casinos for a while.</p><p><br /></p><p>When some casinos were using Morgan and Peace Dollars in their machines back in the Sixties, they would drill holes into the coins in order to keep patrons from not putting them all into the slot machines. That could put an end to using that size coin if all the coin collectors came to get a silver dollar for face value. In fact, I took two that had escaped the drill back then.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
