Needs loose change
Coinop, short for coin-operated, describes machines that function when coins are inserted, typically arcade games, vending machines, laundromats, and jukeboxes.
The term is most associated with video game arcades from the 1970s through 1990s, when coinop games dominated gaming culture before home consoles took over.
