MAME and the law.
vidmouse:
One time a bunch of neighborhood kids were playing over at my house.
When one of the older ones saw I had cab in the basement, he said
"awesome!" and said he was going to go home to get his quarters.
The look on his face when I told him not to worry about it
was worth far more than any quarters I could ever gain.

But if you put one on your cab - of course first and foremost for personal use and authenticity - considering either written law or your own personal ethics; would you never, ever under any context allow people to put a coin, or even alternative tokens or something, in it?

I don't think it's at all "questionable". Your intentions have nothing to do with a piece of hardware. You can just as well charge someone $5 to play your cab all he/she wants. Conversely, I have a coin door but there's a bucket of tokens nearby and the key is in it for those moments we just want to flick the switch.
If someone drops a quarter in there from their own pocket - even when I have all the tokens set up for them, I'm not going to jump in front of it like it was a bullet heading towards someone more important than me. That's hardly enough for the feds to knock down your door.

Taxes. That's how the big boys get taken down! Anyone remember Al Capone? All that mafia biz and they nail him on taxes... Good stuff.
