Van Brook/Osborne Coin
Cincinnati, Ohio
Using tokens rather than quarters or cash in car washes helps eliminate theft and discourages vandalism, especially in unattended areas. Often the repairs needed for equipment damaged or destroyed by thievery or vandalism far exceeds the value of the actual cash loss. A variety of options allow car wash owners to select tokens which best suit their needs – from standard red brass tokens that replace quarters to high security tokens which eliminate the threat of cross-acceptance.
What’s New/Best Seller • High Security Tokens.
Advantages/Features • Van Brook offers three groups of high security tokens, each with a unique signature recognized in today’s electronic coin acceptors. Controlled Distribution CT Tokens and CTX Tokens have an exclusive use license within a 75-mile radius of your business as long as you continue to order tokens. Ultra-high security CT Tokens are needed for high-value applications. Hardest to counterfeit, they are made by combining two different metals to produce a unique and highly reliable electronic signature. CTX Tokens are made from special alloys not commonly found in coins or tokens. There are over 15 varieties, all with controlled area distribution exclusivity. Controlled value TimeSaver Tokens come in three sizes and are used solely for $1 vend price. They also use a secure metal not seen in coins or tokens.
