So it seems that everyone I talk to has their own theory on how 3 of Coins work, and every theory is completely changed every time there is a small patch. I am looking for answers to the burning question we all have, how exactly does the 3OC currently work? More specifically...
1) What are the set drop rates/probability settings for 3OC?
2) Can one "stack" 3OC, and if so, how many can be stacked, and what is the effect of the stacking (is it an additional set probability or a multiplier)?
3) Are the set probabilities different for each 3OC opportunity (strike bosses v. crucible v. CoE)?
4) Are there variations in drop rates for different specific opportunities (do different bosses have their own set rates, do different crucible types have their own set rates, is there a difference in Normal Strikes v. Heroic v. Nightfall)?
5) For crucible, does the drop rate change depending in if you win or lose the match and/or how well one performs?
6) Are there any other additional factors that can have an effect on the drop rate (for example wearing an exotic v. not, certain active perks, sub-class, class, level, light level, etc.)?
I am not complaining about the drop rate, I am just curious about what the actual situation is after hearing so many theories. Also I suppose I wouldn't mind knowing how to use my 3OC in the most optimal way... But mostly curiosity!
I would really appreciate a Bungie reply or a direct quote from a previous Bungie answer (post-patch). Or if someone has run a recent statistically valid test with sufficient sample sizes, that would be interesting too.
Thank you,

When ive tried the farming methods or every match in heroics & crucible, i can go thru 40+ and not get single drop... yet i can pop one before beating a taken zeleot or some boss in COE and get one every few times. Makes no sense. So NOT getting an exotic from 3oc's definitely DOES NOT increase ur chances. I think dumb fkn luck period. Shouldnt need 3oc's. Just add exotics to rng. I mean xur is literally useless as fuk... we ONLY get 3ocs to waste from him. Then waste tons and tons of 3oc's for a rare drop. Just eliminate them altogetuer.. would be less frustrating.
