The submitter put them up on eBay for charity. Only that was a few months ago now. Sorry about that.

HE ALSO SENT IN A VERY LONG-WINDED ACCOMPANYING LIFE STORY:
"When I was 8, my father who was absent since birth (he literally legged it the moment I was born. Classy, eh?) reappeared, saying he wanted to get to know his son. He actually wanted to get intimate with my mother's bank details, as he had run into a spot of bother with a loan shark - seeing as I haven't heard from him in over a decade, I can only hope he's resting in pieces along the side of a motorway.

"Anyway, in order to prove he's turned a new leaf, he took me on a day out to Segaworld, at the Trocadero Centre. I can remember it was all actually quite fun, especially that CGI roller coaster ride thing they had going on. After a long day eating greasy overpriced food, various arcade games, and spunking a shitload of money on those games that give you tickets and exchanging them for two bouncy balls, we headed home. It was only during the huge argument between my parents in the kitchen that I discovered these two tokens in my pocket. I can't remember what they were used for, though.

"It isn't too clear on the photo (seeing as it was taken with a digital camera from back in the days of 128MB MP3 players), but the tokens have started to rust. I think it makes it look pretty cool though, almost like it's currency from a long lost civilisation, except that they're as worthless now as they were then - Kimini."

That email reminded us of these images, which have been sitting here, in a folder, for over a year.




We have lost the email and accompanying story, but the folder was called 'Sega Sydney' so these must be tokens from SEGA World in Sydney from before it closed.




Sensational macro photography. These photos really deserved better than being stuck on the end of someone else's boring sob story.
