Probably still a few pennies left lol.
In all seriousness, though, there is always the chance that there is more debris in there if a whole quarter made its way in there. The quarter might have also caused physical damage to the moving parts of your Playstation.
It's a pretty common PS3 issue for laser lenses to go bad as well, which would be characterized by the blue light on the front turning red when the machine tries to read a disc. Unfortunately, locating a replacement lens that isn't just a factory reject is a difficult task if you're not going directly through Sony.

Totally agree with this assessment. I love the ps3 but I've replaced 3 lenses in my own, without foreign debris causing them damage

I fix 200 ps3's a month. I see this ALL the time. If a coin has bounced around inside. You have the following possible problems.
A) Scratched Laser Lens
B) Broken Gear or Jammed from coin passing thru it.
C) Feed Gear Misaligned...
If you open the Blu ray drive..BE CAREFUL there are spring sin the drive that release the "Claws". Getting them back aligned is a pain in the arse.
