I saw an interesting sign in one of the arcades here at Purdue (Lafayette, Indiana). It read something like: NOTICE It is *ILLEGAL* to use Pin Pan Alley tokens in any other arcade, and also *ILLEGAL* to use tokens from another arcade here at Pin Pan Alley. The sign went on, however, this was what surprised me. I know that most arcades use tokens which are "unique", i.e., I have tried using the "wrong" tokens at a couple of the arcades in town, and they don't work anyway. I did find it interesting that there is a law which covers this. Any lawyer types out there who know if this is a new law, or is it covered under some older law? --Dave Curry
