Great, there goes my retirement plans. I was going to live off free candy and ill-gotten gains.

The string taped to a quarter works better with finer thread (if it's going to work at all). It used to be really easy to use on video games until the coin mechs were updated with cutters and/or one way gates that wouldn't register the credit until the coin was past that point and then you couldn't pull it back out. A number of them now also have magnets to stop the use of steel slugs.

Here's one that I've heard can work. Necco Wafers. Kind of a crappy thing to do because it likely makes the collection area totally disgusting if there's any humidity.

There is one where you can super glue the quarter in the mechanism so it don’t drop

[errhah]

I would rather pick your Masterlock with the floss 😄

When i was in high school, i used coffee straws on those push coin mechanisms to play free jitz ( foosball) games. I've also done laundry a few times this way.

The string idea works if you put string on both sides of the coin, so that when you try to pull it out, it doesn't tip over from being pulled on one side and getting stuck. Also it works best if you you use Fishing line. Fold a long piece of fishing line in half, then put the coin in that loop and tape it so there's a piece of fishing line on each side. Tie the ends together and use that knotted end for pulling the coin out.

I simply just wrap a smaller coin in plastic or a leaf 😂 it makes the coin bigger and it works

I've found tokens in my machines before. I always test them to see if they work, and I've never had one work due to them being small enough to fall through the drop through mech. I've also found tooth picks and pieces of paper the size of a quarter before. I'm pretty sure the people putting tooth picks in were just using my machine as a trash can lol.

[MrRobertgarcia]

When I was a kid we would smash nickels into the size of a quarters!! Also drill a whole into a quarter and tie it to a string and drop it into arcade game to the point where we can pull it back just enough where can get credits and drop it back down and up continuously!!

2:46 -- Actually, even if the cardboard quarter is cut perfectly to size, it shouldn't work on standard coin mech since those are typically triggered based on coin weight.
3:42 -- If something other than a quarter is giving credits, it means you need calibrate your coin mech. Unless the token/slug is the exact same size and weight as a quarter, it shouldn't trigger the coin mech's credit. There's an adjustable screw you can tweak for it to accept specific coin weights. This'll keep people from using non-quarters in your machines (unless you want them to use tokens, I mean).

One of my friends actually owns a coin operated arcade game. (I think it was the one where you stack blocks to build a tower?) and he tried many of these coin hacks. Most of them didn’t work but just like you tested the machine does except metal coin like substitutes.

My friend actually used that fact and made his one token coins for his machine that he gives to his friends whenever they visit!

Apparently there are some kinds of digital coin readers that won’t get tricked by fake coins but they tend to be specially made mechanisms or they use cameras to verify the coins.

For 95% of all coin operated machines the fake metal coins work. As long as they are the same size and thickness they will work.

I remember buying a bag of coins at antique shop as a kid and there waa mexican coins with a goofy looking guy with a bandanna on it, nearly the size of a quarter, i stuck it in a machine at toys r us that sells bouncy balls and it was slightly bigger than a quarter, i forced the knob and jammed the machine and broke the machine. I took off running afterwards lol.

[joshuawenninger]

Metal slugs aren't really free credits since the person would still need to buy those tokens

[s-volt]

Great video! Could you make a video on how to find the right machines for you!

[JosephShemelewski]

The metal slug probably costs more than a quarter to make lol. Cardboard idk I don't need candy that bad to cheat a quarter

[VendingUnlimited]

I’ve found nickels, penny’s a couple dimes and just recently a paper coin with a blue thumbs up picture on one side

[jonahfarner]

Can you get all of the gum balls out of the machine by putting glue on either the slug or cardboard quarter and getting it stuck in the reciever?

[s-volt]

for the triple shops do you charge 50 cent or 25 cent?

[tankprohp]

going to start carrying around cardboard now
