Others would use it for the math. And some would use it because they're from Australia.
(It was kind of strange, yet neat, to get FIVE games out of a dollar on a video game, the two years I spent in Australia.)
I expect that, even if they tend to not provide coinage in other values, the quarter, regardless of being 0.20 or 0.25, is minted for most installations for the sake of running video arcades, which have proved to be less successful in Fenspace when the machines have been retrofit to use common bank swipe cards.
Jupiter Mining Corporation doesn't really dally with the idea of minting their own currency, since they're not explicitly a tourist operation. But behind closed doors, there has been some talk of making up special 'quarter tokens' for use in the arcade at Green Planetoidy and the main office in Serenity Valley, perhaps with a 'collectible' element tied in with the tenth year of the company's founding.
