Coin Operator is a perk in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Dead Money.
It is received from Christine as part of her dialogue: several Perception and Intelligence checks are necessary, along with polite responses. A dialogue option to acquire this perk has a Perception check of 6 followed by an Intelligence check of 6.
Effects
The result is Christine teaching the Courier a Workbench recipe to make "slugs" that Sierra Madre Vending Machines can use: 1 Fission battery plus 2 Scrap metal = 50 Sierra Madre chips.
Notes
It is of limited use in the Sierra Madre proper due to the shortage of Fission Batteries, but it is the most profitable way to gather Sierra Madre chips: a 75-cap Fission Battery and two 1-cap Scrap Metals result in 50 chips (1.54 caps per chip), while redeeming a 10-cap Pack of cigarettes at a vending machine only results in 5 chips (2 caps per chip), and a 50-cap Carton of cigarettes only results in 20 chips (2.5 caps per chip). The worst case - the cashier on the Sierra Madre Casino floor - will only exchange Pre-War money for chips at a one-for-one basis (10 caps per chip!).
Though this perk seems worthless after the add-on is complete, there is a vending machine in Elijah's room in the Abandoned BoS Bunker, enabling Cigarettes and pre-war clothing to be redeemed for chips - this perk actually increases in value dramatically due to the prevalence of Fission Batteries in the Mojave Wasteland.
