“Insert Coin”: insert a coin and play!
- “Insert the coin” is an incredible exhibition that is totally regressive for the older ones and very fun for the children
- The Museum’s teams approach a playful function of money and immerse us in the culture of game rooms and cafés
- With 5 rooms and 40 coin-operated game machines : table football, pinball machines, arcade games, electromechanics and even a jukebox… Nothing is forgotten from this period from the 1950s to the 2000s
- Always at the bottom of a pocket, the room was a real sesame to access chewing gum from distributors, make a phone call or listen to music with a … jukebox
- The Monnaie de Paris has issued for the occasion tokens that everyone will receive on arrival to play on pinball machines, baby machines and other machines in the original material conditions!
- Electronics with arcade machines are also in the spotlight. You will be able to play with the joystick and climb the levels of the iconic Pac-Man, street fighter, space invaders and Donkey Kong
- A successful bet! To have brought together all generations around the game by approaching money in a museum witheighteenth-century lounges redecorated to the taste of pop culture. Shall we play a game?
So come and insert a coin at the Currency Museum and have fun with the children!
“Insert coin” – the minute of history
- The ancestor of the pinball machine dates back to the nineteenth century and was particularly successful in the United States
- And it was in Chicago, in the 1930s, that the first coin game was born
- That same year, Bonzini registered its trademark for a French foosball table
- In the 1980s, electronics allowed the emergence of arcade games which themselves gave birth to E-Sports
