IDX Tokens

[rshiggaon]

We use IDX token 1.073, now they have increased the price to $1.08/per token (5k minimum tokens) + shipping cost. We now sell them for $1 value using our coin dispenser. With this price increase, it seems like we will lose money if the tokens do not come back. This is crazy, everything is going up. We are happy with our tokens and don't see any other car wash tokens.

So what are my options here?
- Use other tokens that are cheaper and secured as IDX? Will my IDX acceptor read those?
- Sell the tokens for higher value, stop accepting $1 bills if I go this route.

How are you guys dealing with this issue?

TIA.

You should be able to find a token that will work and be obscure enough that you won't get tokens that aren't yours, and if you do find a token that isn't yours you can "learn" it to be rejected. There are a lot of things I don't like about IDX acceptors, but they do their base functions very well. You're already using an unusual size token, just get some regular ones with an uncommon content, like a bimetal.
