Coindrop is the popular name of a prank played mostly by young children and teenagers in Scotland, generally in public places such as shopping centres. A coindrop begins when someone accidentally drops a coin, and reaches to pick it up, unwittingly making themselves a potential victim. At this point, somebody may shout out "Coindrop!", and that person or a nearby friend runs to the victim and kicks him/her, usually with great force; this is sometimes known as a 'Coindrop kick', and being a victim of one is known as being 'coindropped'. Performing a coindrop can be considered assault, but few arrests have been made. There has been recent controversy over the police turning a blind eye to coindrop pranksters.

I don't doubt for a minute that there are some dedicated cabs that are running MAME to simply play one game (for example an op might have a Tempest cab with a broken XY monitor, so he put in a VGA monitor and is using MAME to run Tempest).
CoinDrop is simply a nice add-on to MAME that allows you to transfer your "keystrokes" from one game to the next.
I understand the argument against coindrop FE management, but I think if operators saw a fortune to be made in classic on-site arcade cabinets we would have already seen it.
