Soo... a few things..

Instead of:

Code

Main: 
 lda $0dbf
 and #$01
 bne change
 rtl
change: 
(...)

you could do:

Code

Main: 
 lda $0dbf|!addr
 beq return
(...)
return:
RTL

if the player has no coins, jump over the entire code and return; instead of jumping to the code, and returning if the check fails. This way of doing it is a lot nicer. And.. that "and #$01" is not needed (also added "|!addr" at the end of "$0dbf" to make the code SA-1 compatible)

Instead of recreating the entire death routine (everything under the "change:" label in the original code), why not just call it?

Code

jsl $00F606|!bank

you could just replace all that with this... (added "|!bank" to give fastrom users a tiny boost)

And finally

Code

(...)
 rtl
return: 
 rtl

you could just do

Code

(...)
return: 
 rtl
