I don't think it's a coin, but rather a merchant or game token.

 

[Lazier1991]

Ive looked everywhere i even went and looked at game tokens and they have on the back no cash value..

 

[ScubaDetector]

Any small initials on the front?

 

[RelicMedic]

I believe it's a Ballys Tim Foolery arcade token. They were similar to Chucky Cheese.

 

[Lazier1991]

No initials on it just the tomfoolery

 

[Lazier1991]

Ive also looked that up as it popped up with tomfoolery and i have not seen that coin/token thing anywhere

Like Chuck E Cheese, Bally's Tom Foolery, was a pizza place with arcade games.

 

[Lazier1991]

Okay ty.

 

[Lazier1991]

But wouldnt it say no cash value on it no matter how old it is?

No, I have lots and lots of arcade tokens that do not have that saying.

 

[Lazier1991]

Okay thanks.

 

[ScubaDetector]

Chuck E Cheese, Dave & Busters and Namco are three I found in my collection so far that don't have those words.

I have found 4 in my collection with the same star and horseshoe back. Mine all say No Cash Value on the reverse side though.

I didn't find a Tom Foolery token but I did find two more examples of the star side of your token. I agree that it is a Bally's arcade token given out for good luck. Both examples I found were listed as good luck tokens.
