Quarter Machine Prizes (International)

Uhm, I was wondering how many dollars a quarter are? I saw some machines here too, but since we use euros here am a bit confused, sorry!

It's fine. I will see if I can help. It takes 4 quarters to equal one US dollar. So far I have only found one machine that still takes just one quarter. Most want 2 or 3 quarters. Basically, cost will vary depending on location just so long as you send toy capsule prizes. :-)

Am sorry, but I need to ask another question, hope it isn't too bugging you XD. Do you need to send the toys with the plastic ball they come out of machines or can it be just the toys? I just also found out how much a quarter is in euros, thanks for your help!!

You aren't bugging me a bit! Please send the capsule that the toys come in. That's part of the novelty but you can always contact your partner and see if they are okay with just the prize. :-)

I can't participate right now, but might if you offer it later. Cute idea. I think everyone should try to post a picture of what they sent. (after the partner gets it)

I would love to see what everyone gets, too! Since we are having a great amount of sign ups, I would definitely love to host another round down the line.

I would definitely do this again! I have already been to the machines. The only problem is I wanted to keep everything I got!!! I have to say that I hope people will go for the 50 cent or higher stuff cause the 25 cent stuff was pretty lame. But the 50 stuff was COOL!!

Next time let's have more than 1 partner!!!

I agree! I wasn't going to be too hopeful for this swap and wanted to see if people would like it. I am so excited that there are more people than just me into these adorable prizes! :-)

Yep, I say next round have more than one partner (maybe 3 ?)and add more time to send (maybe a month? esp. if it's International again because I believe they have fewer machines in fewer places than us Americans). I'm off to see if I can find some profile-based goodies for my partner (I know there are over 100 machines if I drive 15 minutes in any direction, so I'll officially be annoyed if I can't find something!)

Oh! Do gashpon machines count? That's the only kind available at the comic book stores.

Yes, those are just fine! We don't have any near where I live, but they have such cool prizes.

What are gashpon machines?

I tried to get a few quarter machine prizes but the machine ate my quarter! LOL So no bouncy ball for my partner. Now if I can only part with the other "toys"........Smiles great swap!

I ended up spending 5$ in quarters at the machines today. I hope my partner likes the goodies I got for her. I really wish the prizes would have been better. But they are pretty cute.
