I’m Soooo Proud!

My wife and I went out for 2-1/2 hours tonight: nails and wire. The last hole we dug: 1999 Pizza Rat token! I honestly thought it was my very first coin with the Simplex. Oh well, we’re getting closer. It was under a deep layer of driveway gravel. He looks a lot like Alf, IMO!

Chuck E. Cheese is the name of the pizza place. Lots of arcade games. I think it was Showbiz pizza before that

Yeah, I always called him The Pizza Rat, when my kids were little. I remember Billy Bob at Showbiz.

I always thought the showbiz animatronic band was unsettling as a child

Cool find !

If you look on the Internet you'll see that people collect Chuck E. Cheese Tokens.
I've found four or five with different dates on them - they clean up real nice with very fine steel wool.
I think the ones produced in recent years are made out of plastic.

I remember looking that up once, people collect everything.

Thats ols Chuck. Brings back memories of when my kids where little and they would make me take them there.

Fun find. I'm only missing one year of those and I'll have the whole series! (except for the 4 'special' ones, which includes the 1979)

when my kids were little we took them once to a chucky cheese's location in Oklahoma City. Pigeons roosted in the awnings above the windows in the front of the building leaving about a 2 to 3 inch built up pile of droppings on the sidewalk that nobody cleaned, apparently ever. I found the pizza to be sub-par and way over priced The restaurant was littered with food scraps, cheese, straw wrappers, and napkins all over the floor. What seems like hundreds of sticky kids running and screaming all over the place. The staff all seemed to have the same look on their faces, as if they had been sentenced to spend an eternity in hell. Aside from my disdain for the place, for the most part I thought the person who came up with the idea for an over-priced crummy meal and arcade to lure kids and their parents in must have been a marketing genius. Genius enough to lure us in once, but never again.

Congrats on your chucky cheese token, the mark of a true detectorist.

Tokens handed him at the end. Which he magically converts to tickets!
