- 7 Ages (recording score/money)
- 18xx (fun fact: 240 coin set contains $134,115), why carry around a 25lb coin set when you
- can carry a 2.5lb 300 coin set?
- Acquire tiny hard to handle paper money, coins much more convenient
- ADAPT
- Adventure Quest
- A Few Acres of Snow easier money handling, better denominations
- Cabo (recording score)
- Camel Up! Much more elegant to use coins
- Crystal Palace: coins much easier to handle and make change
- Cosmic Run
- Babylon 5 (markers)
- Brass (edition with the cardboard coins)
- City of Big Shoulders (18xx rules but building industries instead of Railroads which shortens
- the game but has the same 18xx feel – highly recommended)
- Concordia
- Death Angel coin markers (see picture on blog post)
- Dice Hospital scoring and VP markers (see picture on blog post)
- Dune Imperium: replace money and spice with much more convenient coins
- Ettin: poor cardboard money chunks – coins really much nicer

- Game of Thrones Miniatures (see pictures on the blog post)
- Gloomhaven (all sets): great game with miserable markers, replace the minute damage
- markers with coins, to put under the figure bases for status (poisoned, blessed, stunned
- etc.), also avoid the health/experience wheels which rotate way to easily with any touch
- with much more reliable coins
- Hero Realms: sliding two cards on top of each other to mark health is very prone to error, use
- the coin set which is shows exactly what the health of the heroes/minions/bosses is
- Isle of Skye
- Jambo
- Keyforge why spend another $25+ dollars for tokens when coins complete and more easily
- provide colorful easy to see markers

- Magic the Gathering (lives, creatures, tokens)
- Martian Rails (actually all connect the dots RR games, esp. Mayfair versions)

- with the Game ON! set
- Networks cute but strangely hard to handle cardboard money
- New Bedford
- Olympos: coins replace tiny prestige markers
- Paper Chase

- Role Player: marking VP with coins is far more exact than sliding a wooden block on a card
- Slide 5: Great for keeping score
- Snow White and the 7 Dwarves Mining Game (aka Quartz)
- Twilight Imperium: coins replace hard-to-see World markers
