The other player putts and hits my coin, deflecting his ball but not moving the coin? Does he play it as it lies or gets to replace it to original position?

Your ball in play was moved accidentally by you dropping your club and moving it. This is a 1 stroke penalty and the ball must be replaced. If you play the ball from it's new position, the penalty becomes 2 penalty strokes. See the asterisk note at the end of the penalty statement for Rule 18.

This would be no different tha if the ball were played from 5, 100 or any number of yards away. The ball at rest that was at rest on the green if moved would be replaced and the ball played from off the green would be played as it lies with no penalty to anyone.

Look at the definitions of Line of Play and Line of Putt in the Definitions section at the beginning of the Rules of Golf book.
Thanks for the question.

What if the person putting in stroke play is on the fringe of the green and he putts and hits his another ball? I think you missed something here.
