The New Wave Toys RepliCade Insert Coin Keychain packs a full arcade cabinet coin door into a 2-inch, 3.2-ounce slab of diecast metal and plastic. It is a 1:1 scale replica of the coin return button found on the machines you fed quarters into, and it works: press the coin return and an LED lights the button for 10 seconds before auto shut-off kicks in. The battery is user-changeable, so it does not become a dead ornament after a few months. At 3.2 ounces it has real heft on a keyring, which is the point. This is a tactile piece of 90s arcade hardware, not a printed novelty fob. Shoppers…

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you actually put a coin in the RepliCade keychain?

No. New Wave Toys is explicit about this: the coin does not go in fully, because there is nowhere inside for it to go. It is a replica of the coin return button and door, not a working coin mechanism.

How big and how heavy is it?

It stands 2 inches tall and weighs 3.2 ounces. That is a 1:1 scale match to the coin return on the original arcade cabinets, and the diecast metal construction is what accounts for the weight.

Does the LED stay on, and will it kill the battery?

Pressing the coin return button lights the LED for 10 seconds, then an auto shut-off feature turns it off. There is no always-on mode, which is what keeps the cell from draining.

Can the battery be replaced when it dies?

Yes. New Wave Toys lists a changeable battery as a feature, so the keychain keeps working past the original cell. Check the product listing or included instructions for the exact battery type.

Is it worth buying as a gift?

It rates 4.8 out of 5 stars from 2,541 reviewers, and at under $20 it works as a stocking stuffer, White Elephant pick, or bulk party favor for a retro gaming get-together. Buy two if one is going in someone else's stocking.
