Yeah, if there's not an extra two zeroes there, it's no longer a mystery why the arcades died out.

I think it's a safe bet that if you have a classic, that hasn't been modded in any way, then the coin counter is probably also original and untouched.

BY the way, I did some math and now I think it's unlikely a counter would roll over. A 5 digit counter MAAYYYBE once.

My Galaga has a little over 56,000 plays.

I tend to agree on the rollover part.  Most of my classics show between 25-50k plays.  I tend to think they're probably pretty accurate.  And I'm guessing they would have switched to a 6 digit counter sooner if many games were rolling them over.
