I can think of some, but they are not beat'em ups. What Vas Crabb says it's not true at all, because there were games you need more coins and/or replays in order to level up a character.
We have for example two fighting games, Red Earth and Soul Calibur II. Both feature an experience system in order to gain new abilities and in the case of Soul Calibur II, earn money to buy weapons.
A rather primitive one was the Double Dragon III USA version with its coin based system.
There is another undumped game who shares the same hardware as Soul Calibur II (Namco System 246), The Idolmaster. A game where you take the role of an idol producer and you choose a character in order to level her abilities and progress her story in the game.
