I remember my tokens were always gold/copper in color. I don't remember silver. Of course, I was going there in the late eighties / early nineties so probably cheaper to switch to different metal later on. Cool souvenir, those were cool times.

I remember green and red ones too

I have a vague recollection that those were “special” tokens worth more than just a single token. No idea if I’m making this up.

I could be wrong but if memory serves me they came out of a slot machine type of game.

They were worth tickets if I remember right

They had those machines that had hundreds of tokens piled all around and you tried to get your token to land where the constantly moving back and forth sides could push a ton of tokens into the big slot. I think they were rigged lol

I still have a big purple one! It's plastic instead of metal, it definitely dropped out of one of the token pushing games.
