I have three arcade machines and I am looking at a 4th. Right now all my machines use quarters, but I've been thinking of swapping the mechs for a while now.

Anyway, my girlfriend joked that I should have my own custom tokens made. something that say's 'bish0p's arcade' on one side and has the silouette of the chess piece on the other side.

I was just wondering if anyone here knows a service that does this kind of work or something. I'd appreciate a link in the right direction!

Thanks!

When I get home from work tonight I will give you the name of a company that can do it pretty cheap. They keep sending me samples and their work is pretty good. Got to find those tonight :)

nruva, I'm still interested in the info you have. these prices are all over the board. Some people want 300$ each side of the die! I looked and found that some places are fairly cheap, some are really expensive. I consider this a side thing, and wouldn't need more than 200 tokens, so I'm hoping to do it for less than the 500$ people seem to want to charge me.
