ROMs with Demo's (with inserted quarters)

Here is a tricky challenge for everyone:
I have an arcade made from a first gen Atom (64 bit win7) running IV/Play and using an x-arcade dual-joystick (non trackball). I think I have a pretty current ROM set. It is set up for the public in a retail environment. To keep ruffians from playing on it all day, I set the x-arcade to not accept and quarter inputs in a certain programming mode, therefore I have to pre-load the quarters for the games. This works fine, but on a lot of classic games, if quarters are inserted, no demo reel rolls and it usually just stays on a black score screen or says 'press start' which is not inviting to customers. The challenge is to find ROMs that have demo reels that roll WHILE quarters are inserted, so people feel invited to play the game. So far I have found:
Dodonpachi
Dragon Ball Z: Super Battle 2
Smash TV (though this is kind of pushing it for 'family safe')
any other suggestions?

I should have clarified, there is no charge to play the arcade, its merely there for amusement. I preload the credits to keep punk kids from sitting there for hours and putting in quarters themselves and getting rowdy and out of control. In no way do I charge for any of it, I paid out of pocket to set it up mostly for kids to play while their parents filled out their boring forms and such.
By retail environment, I simply meant it was on public display in a retail store, not that I charged for play.

Q. Can I put an arcade cabinet running MAME in a public location?
A. No. This this a commercial use of MAME and is prohibited by the license. Even if you don't charge money, putting a machine in a public location is "operating" an arcade machine and falls under commercial rules in most locations.

I just had a simple request that may have given me an opportunity to share some classic games that others have enjoyed. If I had not stated my situation I probably would have gotten the answers I was looking for. I'll just ask on other forums, thanks anyway.

Any question that involves inserted coins gets the same treatment.
We've heard every back story under the sun. Yours makes as little sense as everyone elses.
