Decrease number of Yoshi/dragon coin amount for 1-UP

I want the player to get a 1-UP after collecting 3 Yoshi/dragon coins instead of 5. I searched for this kind of patch, but surprisingly, I didn't find anything (only an unanswered forum post from 2008, but that wasn't really helpful). There's probably a way to do this, but I don't know how.
Try with this hex edit:
Code
!coins_1up = 3

org $00F37F : db $0E-!coins_1up
Thanks again,  Kevin!

For anyone who wants to decrease the coin amount: Use a patch to make the coins save after death/midway. The game only deletes the coins after all 5 have been collected, but since only 4 or lower amount of coins have been collected, you can collect all of them, get a 1-UP and still have the coins show up in the level which means infinite lives. So use this patch to make the coins save after death/clear or midway.
