Found a rare Arabic coin

[jamesandsons]

I found this in a roll of nickels. Has anyone seen one of these before? Is it valuable?



Seriously though, where do I find the machines that take crap like this and let them get in to the money supply?

Looks like an arcade token of some sorts-

(Whoops sorry I'm on the iPhone app and pressed the wrong button). Anyway, looked up that coin online and discovered it was an old slot or arcade token--or so I remember. Kind of cool, I think.

Been a while since I've seen one of those. We used to have an arcade in the mall where I grew up called Aladdins Castle. I recognize that token even after all these years(probably been 19 years since the arcade closed down). Apparently there are still two still in existence, one in Quincy, IL one in Massena, NY.

^^ where I was born, and the reason the arcade still exists should tell you something about the glacial pace of life there.....moved away >30 years ago.

Aladdin's castle also has a weird shaped token that gives no hint to its identity too:
