<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 990779, member: 66"]It used to be very common back in the early days of the arcade video games. You couldn't pull the quarter back out as medamoraman mentioned, but by controlling the decent of the quarter until it reached the leaf switch that counted the coin and gave you the credit , you could stop the quarter at that point and bounce the coin up and down on the switch and add on tens or even a hundred credits or more before the string broke and the quarter dropped on down into the cashbox. You could tie up a machine all day play as much as you wanted, get in a lot of practice, let all your friends play for free, and do it all on a single quarter.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
