At the peak of my arcade gaming time as a kid, there was a pretty good arcade down the street that gave 5 tokens for a buck, and all games were 1 token. I had a paper route at the time, too. The way you got paid was, at the end of the month, you would go to each of your customers on your route and collect their $6.25. You would then turn in your bill to the local district (which worked out to probably like $4.00 per customer) and keep the rest. So basically, once I collected enough for my bill, whenever I would get that next $6.25, it was off to the arcade for 31 tokens!!!
