help with japanese translation?

I have a token with unknown japanese inscription -- can anyone help
translate this for me? (I know it probably says something stupid like
"good for one free game" but I'm still curious.)

"Coin Laundry - Nidora System"

I did a search on Nidora, and can't find a direct Japanese company
listing. Most of the hits refer to either a Pokemon character, or a
name in Germany (i.e. - the Nidora Jewelry Exhibition in Leipzig.)

Okay, this is a dumb question, but how am I supposed to type in the
Japanese (kanji?) letters? Is there an online Japanese keyboard I can use?

Under the large box to enter text is a link to a world keyboard.

The text is in katakana, which is a phonetic alphabet. The text
itself is just English with a Japanese pronounciation.

Read out loud, the text sounds like:

"Koin Randorii Nidori Shisutem"

Which is really just: "Coin Laundry - Nidora System"
