I tired to get the CT high security bimetal tokens through van brook, but they couldn't provide me with a unique token for my area. They do how ever have the high security CTX tokens available for my area which from my understanding is just a special alloy. My question is are these tokens very secure being of only 1 type of metal or am I going to get tokens from all over the place if I go with these tokens?

I've used the CTX 808 tokens for about seven years also. I'm using them with Slugbuster III acceptors with no problems at all. They told me that there was a car wash about 80 miles away with the same token, but I have never seen any of them. No one in the Omaha area has a token like mine.

I only have about a half of a coffee cup full of tokens that come in by mistake. Sure not enough to worry about.

I have been using the CTX-333 -- .985 size- slightly larger than quarter for almost 4 yrs, and been thru 60K of them, and no rogue tokens, but in the reject found almost every type of token or foreign coin imaginable. I think you should spend to put your own logo or name on them, so the customer knows where to come back to. The $1 token was the best decision to dispense and eliminate quarters, but we still let the customer bring quarters in.

I also use tokens, quarters and dollar coins. DO you guys know of anyone that just takes tokens? It would make life easier, but I am curious how much business would be lost?

Going without quarters would be nice , but in this rough economy i would hate to lose, even a few bucks, but without dispensing a quarter at the wash i would guess i still take in 20% in quarters. Loose change is still good.

I haven't dispensed quarters for over 10 years. So far this year, quarters still account for 15% of my cash revenues!
