Adafruit Industries, Unique & fun DIY electronics and kits Coin Acceptor - Programmable 4 Coin Type ID: 787 - Your project may be free-as-in-speech, but that doesn't mean it has to be free-as-in-beer. I have been buying parts from ArcadeWorld.com. They have coin-op slots, buttons, joysticks, the works. I'm not working on coin-op at the moment, although I am now tempted, it would be a good addition to my project. I'm happy to share any of the things I do with the forum. My to-do list is currently: 1. 4 Buttons for control.

We see a lot of arcade game projects here at Hackster; however, almost all of them are the video game type. But, as anyone who has been to an arcade knows, some of the most fun games don't use video at all, and instead rely on good old fashioned mechanics. The classic coin pusher is one example that's been a staple of arcades around the world for decades, and now you can build your own with this handy DIY kit.

If you're not familiar with the game, it works something like this: players drop coins through a Plinko-like slot so that they land on a platform crowded with other coins. An oscillating pusher then shoves the coins towards a chute where they can be retrieved. The goal is to get the pusher to eject more coins than you put in. At a real arcade, that can quickly become an expensive endeavor, but with this kit you can play endlessly at home — or just take your friends' spare change.

The kit from Retro Built Games is a frame constructed of laser-cut birch plywood and acrylic. You'll need to supply your own electronics, like an Arduino, power supply, and motor if you want it to push automatically. Or, it can be cranked by hand if you want to keep it simple. The kit is designed to work with pennies, but you can use anything that's that size or smaller if you live somewhere that's not the US — or use dimes to increase the stakes!
