Very common item from old arcades and still available today. You put a quarter (or more today) in the machine and turn a dial to the selected letter & pull a handle. Then turn to the next letter and do the same, etc. until you spell out whatever it is you want it to say. Tokens are made of aluminum and have no value except maybe to the person who made it.
 

There is a collector out there for everything. Even these older stamped aluminum souvenir pieces. I've seen many through the years but the only one I ever found was so vulgar I sold it and it did fairly well to my surprise and delight. I guess it was given to an ex-girlfriend by her very expressive ex-boyfriend LOL. That was back in the good old days when you found more silver then clad and I had to hide it from my mom. Some of those aluminum pieces had a penny in the center.
