Home "Parlor" name and a little commercial

[compirate]

Here's my home 'Parlor' graphic I am printing on several canvas coin bags to hold my extra tokens, in English on the other side. Let's see if it translates the way I think it does. Used Google to translate from E to J, also copied from Yahoo Japan auctions and deleted the extraneous charactors till it translated correctly back from J to E:







Also, here is a little commercial I downloaded while looking for something else (you guess!). It's about 4megs, wmv file. I don't know how much bandwidth my server has so if someone else would like to host it, that would be fine.

Coin Bags - do you have a commerical coin counter ?

I roll my tokens with a commerical counter, I bought 2000 of the quarter sized shot gun shells from www.netbankstore.com and they do custom printing for free with their order. I think it was around 11.30 per 1000 for these. I think I came across some of these for less but it didn't include the printing. I am not sure if they can do Japanese because it was a web form but if you have loaded up the Language kit you can always try. There was also a 1800 number you could call if you are looking for something in particular.

Mine are imprinted with "Le Casino de Monaghan" French for "The Monaghan Casino".

I like rolling them so I can hand out $10 rolls vs just having a cup laying around with an indescriminate number of tokens. Gives you a sense of what you are making / losing.

I have a Magner 925 counter/sorter and a roll crimper to crimp the other end. The counter sells new for about $1,200 and the crimper for $895 (Thank you Ebay!!). I've only rolled money not tokens-yet. Right after I got them I took all the loose change out of my truck and from my cars and it totalled out to $221!

I had previously purchased a 50lb box of casino tokens, the majority of which were 25mm but a few quarter/nickle/penny sized mixed in. Just set it for 25mm and it went through them all in about 5 minutes. Between those, the ones that came with machines and the case I got from bigbear I have about 9150 tokens. The casino tokens are from Iowa, Illinois, Louisiana and a few cruise ships, a lot more stamped on them than the Japanese ones.

I suppose it depends how they print them (while they're still just a roll of paper, imprinted or lazer/inkjet), whether or not they can do Japanese characters. I have the token dispenser (2 more on the way!) plus the battle counters to tell me how I'm doing. The bags are an easy transport device (need to fill a machine/dispenser) and when tied are pretty much spill proof. The $500 size (2000 quarters) weighs about 28lbs at that amount, easy to carry. There is a company north of Dallas that sells banking supplies that sells in smaller quantities (don't need 100 bags at $1.50 ea!) but netbankstore looks like a good bet for the coin rolls with imprinting. Now I have to come up with something for that!

Why didn't you introduce me when I was there last? Yeah, I know, keeping all the really good Japanese stuff for yourself!!
