You couldn't drop coins on live. At least not in classic kunark or velious. I can specifically remember 2 specific events that would prove it. I was always willing to do transfers between characters by dropping gear and camping. For money you had no choice but to have someone else take it. And the fact that you couldn't move at all if you had too much money on you. People would deal with it because for some reason if you put the money in a trade window it would no longer weigh you down allowing you to move until you moved far enough away. If you could drop coins people simply would have dropped it and moved a little at a time.

The problem with trying to get non-classic mechanics fixed is posts like these, where someone comes into a thread and simply states something that is flat out wrong, yet they state it with full conviction and often times cite "specific events" which they are clearly not remembering properly. Thus, from the perspective of nilbog, despite having a plurality of folks arguing one side, we now have someone arguing the other side and without some definitive time-stamped proof, which often times is unavailable, what else can nilbog do? It's hard to make a change when two camps essentially end up arguing over whose memory is sharper.
In this particular example, it's overwhelmingly clear that coin-dropping is classic, it's just that it's tough to implement, as nilbog stated. Discussions over other game mechanics that were obviously non-classic have been muddied in this way, though, such as certain green-con mobs which are supposed to aggro (e.g. goblins in Droga).
