Abstract
A queuing system is provided for queuing conventional coins corresponding to a line of persons. The system includes an endless track supporting tokens therein for sliding movement in a first direction along the track. The tokens are arranged to support the coins therein. An indicator on the track indicates a first coin to be queued. Movement of the tokens in the first direction displaces the tokens towards the indicator for indicating a queuing order of the coins. The queuing system is particularly useful for coin operated pool tables and the like where the use of coins is known to represent a queue of persons.
