I just sent them an e-mail. I can always use more yen, haha
 
Following up here: I was able to purchase 20 more coins for $0.86 per coin (kill me, lololol) and shipping was $17.70 (Total: £28.00 → $35.86).

So Thank you to @Kalvinmaui. @Kidkaos, leftovercurrency.com might be your best bet! *if you're still wanting yen, that is.

I tried for a while to get Yen and ended up getting some Namco coins off alibaba.

I went crazy with tokens last year, sega, capcom, namco, taito and have adjusted all my coin mechs to accept the random coins.

I've got a few that are electronic so those are easier to configure, but then I bought a number of cheap ¥100 coins mechs and adjusted it to use game tokes that are roughly as big as the ¥100

These were my three tests

This is a hot tip. I’ve been trying to increase my coin stash for the past year with no success. I contacted some currency exchange places and a few other people and didn’t get any response or was told no. I just received 50 coins from Left Over Currency today. $63.78 including shipping to USA.

Yep, they are awesome. I’m sure they’re loving all the business from us arcade guys and gals! Haha

Just got my tokens today, likely to make these adjustments soon. Still I'm really glad yall seem to have found a source of the real 100jpy coins that isn't insane.
 
i'm amazed your still using S10 pattern mechanical mech's
those where phased out in europe in the early 90's!!

i would replace them with something like an RM5 and program it to recognise the various coins.
you can then have different numbers of credits for different coins :)
 
I've run into a problem and I'm not sure what the solution is. Hopefully someone here can help.

I have several AD-81P's in my P-Ras3 cabinets and 1x AD-81P in my Chunithm. I've run through @mR_CaESaR's adjustments above and they're all adjusted exactly the same. This has allowed Chunithm to accept tokens. However, my P-Ras3 cabinets eject everything (and always have, including 100Y coins).

When I swap the coin mech from the working Chuni to a PRas the result is the same (working in Chuni, ejects all coins in P-Ras). The coin doors are closed when I attempt to insert a coin in all cases.

So my question, is there some kind of electronic signal the AD-81P takes with a real board that's not happening with my Windows10 setup that causes it to eject all coins (including 100Y)? I've noticed that I try to insert a coin/token while the coin door is open with Chuni, it ejects. The coin door needs to be closed. So I feel like this circuit may not be active on my P-Ras3s but I could be way off.

Thanks for any assistance/insight on these coin mechs!

Has anyone ordered a set of these yet? I'm wondering if they are good quality and functional.
Also does anyone know if these are actually made by or based off ones made by SNK?
I ordered a box of them, they're fine, no idea who manufactures fhem though.

That’s pretty odd unless harness is pulling it so tight or something. They are purely mechanical coin mechs.

Mine came in last week. Took forever to get here but they're nice, great quality and same size as most Japanese game center coins. They work on my mechs

Can you please check/take a pick of the bracket and the microswitch?

In one of my setups, I have an NNC with a windows pc in and the microswitch is connected to credit so it just passes through mechanically down the coin up micro switch to activate the credit. I imagine the Pras3 is setup in a similar fashion where the coin up is connected to a microswitch which is then connected to a coin up on the IO
