Thieves have stolen about $20,000 in dollar coins from an Adelaide gaming venue, police say.
Thieves broke into the gaming room at the Arkaba Hotel in Glen Osmond in Adelaide's east overnight, a police spokeswoman said.

They grabbed a metal safe and stole the money - all in one dollar coins.

Imagine the look you'd get when you pay for everything in $1 coins for the next 2 years. Imagine the strength needed in your belt to keep your pants from falling down because of a heavy wallet. I'd be too scared to exchange the $1 coins at the bank for fear of getting caught. What would you do with 20,000 one dollar coins?

perhaps they have a serious poker machine habit

I remember when it was 1x10c. All the balls were black and white in those days

How much would that weigh, Whyalla had a venue where $8000 worth were stolen but how do you move that many coins?

I rememer when you go to the old magic mountion or downtown and get 30 tokens for about $10.

They will soon find them cause one of them would take that many coins to pay for something.

I remember when my arm was skinny enough to shove a pen up the chute and get it for free

Live off of vending machines.
Every corner just slip in the dough.
Eat and drink at will.

So you'd spend half the coins on a diet of potato crisps, mars bars and coca cola.

Be sure to save the other half to pay for the angioplasty surgery...

it would probably fill up the spare room

Negotiate a cash price on a new car and then hand over the coins!!

Book the next flight to Adelaide and a hotel room til October and go watch the Legs every week

Get $1,000 converted to 10 cent pieces and lay a few bets with Joketon.

Drop $1,000 out the window on Hansen Rd and film the pandemonium for YouTube.

Charter a helicopter and spend a quarter at each of four SANFL games being played on the same afternoon.

Give $5,000 to 5RPH to upgrade their servers so geographically challenged SANFL diehards can log in from everywhere without overloading the system.

$10,000 to charities and to use when paying bills to state government entities.
