The 'coin jingle' can put off players and it can also break the ice to start off a conversation. Many a times I've walked into a pub and seen a new young player on a fruit, stood behind him and jingle my pocket. He's left and I've had it off on the fruit. Some people seem to get embarrassed playing fruits infront of strangers.
Players have done it to me but I just play the fruit out infront of them (unless I was on something they wernt).
And many a times it's also innitiated a convo. :-)

I always used to keep my coins as quiet as possible, I didn't want people thinking I was a player because if they knew and saw me playing something one day they might use their brain and watch from a distance and pick things up or vice versa. I used to try and keep as low a profile as possible without appearing ignorant.
Some people like to announce the fact they are 'players' by rattling coins, kids wearing tracksuits do this alot. I remember one lad who marched into a pub wearing tracksuit bottoms, his pocket was full and when he stopped suddenly his pocket full of coins hit him squarely in the bollocks.

" pocket full of coins hit him squarely in the bollocks"
i only ever did that once lol.
Back in my arcade rat days a bit of pocket rattling was appreciated amongst locals in a weird kind of way that i liken to stags and walrus's etc fighting for territory.
i learnt quickly that the back pockets in a pair of joe bloggs dungarees gave you much more longevity than the fronts.
...............and woe be tide anybody who had a bit of silver mixed up in their nug pockets for that tell tale, cheapskate, subtley different rattling sound
