Production Date: 5/01/2010 Number of Units: 5000 Material: Yellow Brass Size: 0.984" Diameter This is the token that started it all, our very first collectible arcade token. When we created this coin back in 2010 we wanted to use an iconic image that reprsented all of video games. Everyone on our staff agreed that the classic Space Invader was the universal symbol of video games. The image had become a rallying point for gamers around the world. It had been featured on dozens of websites, magazines, TV shows and in many other forms of art. Dedicated fans have even tattoed this image on their body. This token was created with classic Yellow Brass and was limited to 5,000 units. It is now retired and is no longer available from this site. FUN FACT: Did you know that the very first person to receive a Dig That Box Collectible Arcade Token was none other than legendary actor Leonard Nimoy?!

#16 - The "Lost" Dig That Box Treasure Hunter Token (2017)
Production Date: 5/05/2017 Number of Units: 1000 Material: Yellow Brass Size: 1.125" Diameter There's quite an amazing story behind the "lost" Dig That Box Treasure Hunter Token, and if you have one, you own an extremely rare collectible. We originally planned to release this coin at a popular gaming expo in Los Angeles. Unfortunately we did not meet the deadline for logo approval. Worse yet, we were confronted with a new fee for distributing our coins. A massive $30,000. In the past we had always distributed these coins for free in partnership with various exhibitors at the show, so paying this kind of money was simply out of the question. Since the coins were dated for a show that we did not attend, the entire batch had to be destroyed. We decided to have the coins melted down for their valuable raw materials. Unfortunately while at the recycling plant in East Los Angeles the coins disappeared. We don't know if they were stolen by employees of the plant or if they were taken by someone visiting the location. Either way, our beloved Treasure Hunter Token had disappared for good. A handful of these coins leaked out to our family members and friends. However the vast majority of the coins, an estimated 98.5%, have vanished into the jungles of Los Angeles, never to be seen again. FUN FACT: When we first received this batch of coins from the mint, we sent a small sample to our artist who lives in Chile. Unfortunately the coins that we sent him were lost in the mail! This coin is truly the "lost" Dig That Box arcade token!

This finely detailed coin is the start of a new tradition here at Dig That Box. Our coins will be bigger and better than ever before! Our coins have increased in size from the original 0.984" diameter to a much larger 1.125" diameter size. This amazing new coin is also much heavier, as it is minted in full, 16 gauge, high polish yellow brass.
