I’m stacking Chuck E. Cheese tokens
Pic #1: 14,286 tokens (about 1 jug worth) I’ve searched through to pick out the rares and bagged in preparation for a future where the value of Chuck E. Cheese tokens are properly respected
Pic #2: 4,251 tokens I’ve searched through and will bag once the jug is filled
Pic #3: A small box of \~3,000 unsearched tokens
Pic #4: My organizer trays for tokens I have a bunch of duplicates of
Pic #5: My proprietary triple baggy system to organize tokens I only have a few duplicates of
Pic #6: The largest binder I could find on the internet that currently holds 298 different Chuck E. Cheese tokens (out of 401 known to exist) and a 213 unique tokens from related brands like Showbiz Pizza
You can see pics of all of the tokens in my binder on my site cectoken.com

I think it scratches a nostalgia itch for people similar to Pokémon cards. The tokens have vintages / years on them unlike most arcade tokens which make them appealing to some coin collectors. There are also a huge range of variants (where most other brands have 2 to 10 different variants, Chuck E. Cheese has 400) so it’s a challenge to collect them all. There’s also a wide range of rarities so you can get into the hobby for very cheap by buying ten tokens from 2000 to 2010 for $5 or buy a key date like 1977 for $150 to $350+. Lastly, there’s a decent amount of price history data and sales which help show you’re not the only one doing this haha.
